Public law legal services

Public law solicitors

Our government, its agents and other public bodies have to act according to certain rules of conduct, and the role of public law is to make sure they abide by these rules. Businesses or trade bodies are as entitled to be treated fairly as private individuals.

Our public law team can challenge government or the European Commission when their regulatory zeal goes too far, and can also help your business to build a case against any bodies failing in their duty where that has a detrimental affect on your business.

We’re experts in public law

Our public law team has diverse interests and comprehensive expertise gained from acting for businesses, institutions and individuals. We will build strong, intelligent cases for your organisation.

Our experience extends to appearances at the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice. Of course, public law can cross over into other disciplines and we draw on the knowledge of experts from across the firm, including our fraud and regulatory investigation team and our commercial litigation solicitors.

About public law

As an organisation you face constant scrutiny. For the most part public bodies fulfill their responsibility to serve the public, in accordance with the law. Occasionally though, businesses may feel that their rights have been breached. For example a business could take action against a refusal to renew or to grant a licence for no apparent good reason. Whatever, the cause, the effect can be highly damaging, and we work for quick, quiet resolution and if necessary, decisive action in court.
