How can I fund a civil claim against the police?
Duncan Lewis Action Against Public Authorities solicitors accept actions against the police on a no win no fee basis, depending on the likelihood of success in a case.
For claims where a no win no fee arrangement is not possible, we offer competitively-priced rates for privately funded cases and can also advise on After the Event (ATE) insurance policies to fund claims against the police.

We regularly advise on police civil claims, including:
- Wrongful arrest and unlawful detention
- Malicious prosecution
- Failure to investigate an offence
- Harassment by police officers
- Unlawful stop and search
- Assault or use of excessive force by police officers
- Discrimination: sex, race and disability
