JOHN COOPER QC
"Being able to call on the advice and expertise of one of the country's leading Human Rights QC's has been invaluable to our organisation over many years. John is especially helpful when we are faced with complex, urgent cases" Lynn Carter Director. Prisoners of Conscience
"The detail and analysis contained in Mr Cooper's work has been inspirational. At a time when myself, my family and others in the situation of loss or harm as a result of military service, have felt isolated and vulnerable, John Cooper's commitment to our cases has been unflinching and sustained."
