Landmark Chambers strengthens public law offering with two new tenants

Landmark Chambers has bolstered its public law group with the arrival of two barristers.

The set said Karl Laird, who was called to the Bar in 2018 and specialises in public and administrative law, has appeared in recent years “in numerous cases raising novel and complex points of law”.

Crash Wigley meanwhile has a diverse practice in public, planning, environmental, and property law. In public and administrative law, she represents both claimants and public authorities, handling immigration law, housing and homelessness law, education law, Equality Act claims, and human rights matters.

Wigley, who was called to the Bar in 2021, is also a Welsh speaker and has particular interest in Welsh law and devolution matters.

Samantha Broadfoot KC and Alex Goodman KC, joint Heads of the Public Law Group at Landmark Chambers, said: “We are delighted to welcome Karl Laird and Crash Wigley. Landmark Chambers has long been at the forefront of Public and Administrative Law and these strategic appointments reinforce our commitment to excellence and deepen our expertise in this evolving and complex area of law.”

Laird said: “Joining Landmark marks an important and exciting step in my legal career. With its exceptional reputation in public and administrative law, I am excited by the prospect of advancing my practice and contributing to the continued success of one of the UK’s most distinguished sets.”

Crash Wigley said: “I am pleased to join one of the strongest public law teams in the country. The wide-ranging nature of the practice aligns closely with my areas of expertise, and I look forward to further developing my work in public, planning, and environmental law within such a highly respected Chambers.”
