Welcome to the Chambers of Paul Diamond.
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.
If the issue is one of the manifestation of a religious right; or an issue related to civil rights, the Chambers of Paul Diamond may be of assistance.
