International Human Rights and Justice
Defending dignity and pursuing justice — for you.
We are Canada’s first and only law firm practicing exclusively in international human rights law and international justice.
Arendt Chambers is a boutique law firm practicing exclusively in international human rights law and international justice. We advocate before United Nations treaty- and charter-based bodies, regional human rights systems, criminal courts and hybrid tribunals, and truth commissions, inquiries, and other justice mechanisms.
We are committed to upholding human dignity by providing rightsholders with exceptional legal representation. We approach every case with ingenuity, an unparalleled command of the law, and a dedication to ensuring that international rights mechanisms are accessible to all victims of rights abuses — no matter who they are, where they live, or what resources they have.
Arendt Chambers is driven by values and integrity, not profit. We offer significantly reduced, below-market legal fees for all individual clients. As a boutique firm with little overhead, we are proud to offer competitive fees for all other clientele, including human rights organisations and other law firms.
Kate McInnes
Principal, Arendt Chambers
I founded Arendt Chambers because victims of rights violations deserve exceptional legal representation. In my conversations with judges, UN Committee members, and Special Rapporteurs, I often hear the same frustration: too many claims fail not for lack of merit, but because the legal representation was inadequate.
International human rights law and international justice are not side-projects. They are complex, evolving fields that demand deep expertise and practical experience.
At Arendt Chambers, this work is all that we do. We take your rights — and your case — personally.
