General Public Law
Increasingly, and often in conjunction with individual projects, we are asked to advise on general public law issues such as constitution and governance, propriety and ethics, freedom of information, data protection, human rights and local government finance.
With many of our lawyers coming from public authority backgrounds, we have the expertise to deal with all these issues authoritatively.
We are in a position to give advice that will minimise the risk of challenge.
Chambers UK 2008 ranks us as a leader in the field of local government law and quotes include "a safe pair of hands."
Recent work includes:
Advising on a number of complex freedom of information requests.
We have undertaken investigations into allegations of misconduct by members for reports to standards committees.
We frequently undertake committee work and have advised on issues of bias, pre-determination and personal and prejudicial interests.
