We guide, advise and support our clients in navigating legal issues with a political or public law angle, in a constantly changing landscape.

The work we do comprises public law, political disputes and public advocacy, and has led to us building connections in Government, with policy makers, political parties and activists. This extensive network means that we have the ability to identify practical and inventive solutions to help our clients address the issues they face.

We also provide our clients with a comprehensive range of services and resources tailored to assist them in shaping future policy on and regulation of emerging technology.

We offer the following services: public law and human rights; political and electoral disputes; and public advocacy and advisory work.

Public Law and Human Rights

We are experts in public law and holding public bodies to account, whether that be on a contentious policy issue or on a Governmental or regulatory decision which has affected a client's business. We advise on a broad range of issues, including:

    ✓ Judicial reviews for individuals and non-governmental organisations;

    ✓ Judicial reviews for corporate organisations challenging issues fundamental to their operation, including advising a corporate client in a challenge against its regulator in relation to unlawful guidance issued without due consultation;

    ✓ Procurement complaints;

    ✓ Inquests and inquiries;

    ✓ Select Committee appearances;

    ✓ Human rights claims, for claimants and defendants;

    ✓ Complaints to regulatory bodies; and

    ✓ Advice on responding to public consultations.

Political Consultancy

We are experienced in helping those who are seeking to input into policy, engage with Government decision makers or change the law. Navigating the world of Bunge, State Law Office, Treasury, the plethora of public bodies and the media, our success in this area is because we know how to make the right arguments, to the right people at the right time.

We have strong relationships with public affairs firms to offer an integrated legal and communications strategy and are experts at marshalling legal arguments to bring change.

Political and Electoral Disputes

We advise on contentious issues which touch on politics, informed by our team's deep understanding of the political landscape and political party rules, including:

    ✓ Internal political party disputes, including disciplinary and selection issues

    ✓ Making and defending complaints to Parliamentary regulators, including Public Audit, Appropriations, Departmental Committees and Other Select Committees;

    ✓ Making and defending complaints to the Electoral Commission (IEBC);

    ✓ Defending politically motivated persecutions, including advice on extradition.


We have advised clients on how to prevent violations of their political and human rights and when they have occurred we have assisted our clients to seek legal remedies. For more, visit our anticipatory bail page.
