The Chambers of Paul Diamond is the premier Chambers to specialise in the law of religious liberty.

 


Paul Diamond combines his considerable strength in this area with his knowledge of public and European law.

 

The law of religious liberty is a specialist subject that is increasingly becoming an important field of law which covers diverse areas: rights and rites of religion (diet, clothing, external characteristics), religious propagation of faith, evangelism, religious autonomy, the Church / State divide, employment law, parades, festivals, criminal law, ‘hate speech’, access to benefits and other areas. The law of religious liberty overlaps with other areas of the law and jurisdictions.

 

Paul Diamond is a specialist in European, EU and aspects of International Law. He has practised in the field of Administrative law, public law, employment law, education law, Police law, civil right, family law and trade mark law. Paul’s analytical expertise of socio legal developments in the United Kingdom and internationally; his sense of humour and blunt eloquence make him an exceptionally dynamic speaker. His counsel and strategic insight is sought out by policy makers and religious leaders.

 

I would like to express my gratitude to Paul Diamond, barrister for his legal work in securing my right to conduct a mission in London. …The situation in the United Kingdom is disturbing and we must support the work of Paul Diamond to secure religious liberty in that Great Land.” - Nicki Cruz
