• Advice on navigating Parliamentary processes.
• Advice on reforming company law, to require company directors to prioritise employees and the environment alongside promoting the success of the company;
• Advice on reforms to the UK constitution and elections law, both in the Westminster and devolved legislatures;
• Advice on reforms to end-of-life legislation; and
• Advice to improve accessibility and safety in public spaces.

Statutory bodies and private legislation

If you are governed or regulated by a private Act of Parliament, you are probably making do with outdated or redundant governing documents.

We can help you to interpret them and decide whether it is necessary to update them to reflect good governance.

If they do need an update, we can help you work out how to do this as efficiently as possible. We have expertise in obtaining Parliamentary schemes for statutory charities; and are authorised to promote private Acts of Parliament if that is needed.
