Constitutional Law
Upholding fundamental rights and principles.
Constitutional law underpins the relationship between the state and the individual, and between different organs of government. Our constitutional law team advises on the fundamental principles that shape the UK's legal and political landscape.
We advise on human rights claims under the Human Rights Act 1998, judicial review proceedings in the Administrative Court, devolution issues, and the constitutional implications of legislative and executive action. The UK's uncodified constitutional framework creates unique challenges — the interaction between parliamentary sovereignty, the rule of law, and Convention rights requires specialist expertise to navigate effectively. Following landmark decisions including R (Miller) v The Prime Minister [2019] on the limits of executive prerogative power, and the ongoing debate about the relationship between UK domestic law and the European Convention on Human Rights, this area demands lawyers who combine intellectual rigour with practical advocacy skill.

“Masl Legal guided us through a £4.5m cross-border acquisition involving companies in two jurisdictions, navigating complex rules of origin requirements under the UK-EU TCA and securing HMRC advance rulings on customs classification. Their ability to coordinate legal, customs, and tax workstreams simultaneously saved us months. We completed the entire transaction within 14 weeks — our previous advisers had estimated six months.”

“When we engaged Masl Legal for our corporate restructuring, we were preparing for a seed fundraise while simultaneously integrating an acquisition. Their corporate team structured a group reorganisation that satisfied our incoming investor's requirements, preserved our R&D tax credit eligibility, and resolved legacy shareholder issues through a bespoke drag-along mechanism. The transaction completed on schedule and we closed our £2m seed round three weeks later.”
