Parliamentary Agents in the United Kingdom

Sharpe Pritchard is one of the few law firms of lawyers with Roll A parliamentary agents amongst their number.

We promote and oppose private and hybrid bills, and draft and advise on secondary legislation, including byelaws, rules and regulations. We advise on the implications of government legislation, draft amendments and advise on parliamentary procedure.   We also advise on special procedure orders, hybrid instruments and other statutory instruments.

Infrastructure authorisation is part and parcel of what our team does, and in addition to its experience on hybrid bills, it also has significant experience in the promotion of, and opposition to, Development Consent Orders, Transport and Works Act Orders and Harbour Orders. See our infrastructure authorisation page for more details.

We act for government departments, local authorities, national public bodies, banks, transport authorities, national trade organisations and charities across the whole range of parliamentary work.
