Public and Regulatory

We advise on all aspects of public law, supporting public bodies to make sound decisions.

Acting in the public interest.

We work with public bodies, helping them to make sensible and robust decisions which have significant impacts on society. We defend judicial review challenges brought against our public sector clients; and we assist businesses and individuals impacted by decisions of public bodies, bringing legal challenges where necessary. Regulators also benefit from our support to carry out investigatory functions and ensure cases are presented robustly.

Our public lawyers have substantial experience of working within government on advisory projects, litigation, and on developing and interpreting legislation. We understand how our public sector clients work, enabling our advice to be pragmatic, well informed, and streamlined.

We work with the British Medical Association, the Gambling Commission, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority, as well as others in central and local government, healthcare, education, and energy.

We have a long-established relationship with the Welsh Government, having specialist expertise in devolution, and we advise public sector and business clients on the opportunities and risks represented by a growing body of Welsh law.
