Our public law barristers have expertise in the specialist area of consultation and advise on consultation obligations, as well as bring and defend legal challenges on consultation grounds. Our work in this area spans a range of sectors, including health, energy, financial services, planning and development, education and local government.

We act for claimants ranging from large corporates to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and public interest organisations. We also act for defendants, including public bodies such as regulators, local authorities and central government.

We act in consultation challenges in the High Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. We also offer mediation and alternative dispute resolution services in appropriate cases as a means for clients to avoid litigation.
