Tailored experienced advice to public bodies on all aspects of public administrative law
Our solicitors have developed considerable experience in dealing with issues relating to public administrative law. We act for a number of public and regulatory bodies advising on their statutory functions and remit as well as acting for private clients advising on both contentious and non-contentious issues.
Increased transparency in recent years in the decision-making process of government, state bodies, tribunals and regulatory bodies has led to an increase in private organisations and individuals challenging those decisions. Our solicitors have considerable experience in dealing with public administrative law processes as well as advising on judicial review and other proceedings.
