Judicial Review

We have significant expertise and experience in administrative law and regulatory matters for the professions. We have also acted for a number of clients in planning judicial review challenges.

Our firm provides specialist legal services in judicial review, representing clients who seek to challenge the lawfulness of decisions, actions, or omissions by public bodies and tribunals. Judicial review is a vital safeguard in the legal system, ensuring that public authorities and tribunals act within the scope of their powers, follow fair procedures, and comply with the principles of legality, rationality, and proportionality. 

We advise and act for claimants who wish to question whether a decision has been made lawfully, as well as for public bodies and interested parties who need to defend their decisions against challenge. Our role begins with a careful assessment of the merits of each case, providing clear and practical advice on the prospects of success, potential risks, and the remedies available. Where appropriate, we pursue early resolution through negotiation, but we are fully prepared to act decisively in court proceedings where litigation is necessary. 

Our solicitors are experienced in handling applications across a wide range of areas, including planning and regulatory matters. We are committed to ensuring that clients receive rigorous representation, strategic guidance, and a professional service that upholds fairness, accountability, and the rule of law.
