How we help
As we act for regulators and regulated bodies, we see issues from every side and hold public authorities to account whenever we need to.
We’re specialists in judicial reviews. If you’re facing a challenge, we can move quickly – especially in the earliest stages, where we can readily mount claims without involving counsel.
We’ll also advise on:
- Procedural fairness and human rights issues
- Sound decision making
- Regulatory, legislative and policy drafting; including codes of conduct and dispute processes
- Implementing statutory and regulatory requirements into your processes and procedures
- Tribunal claims, statutory appeals and inquiries
- Public sector audit law.
