Public Inquiries and Investigations

This gives us a unique insight into how public inquiries proceed, and enables us to provide you with legal advice from a position of deep experience: our Public Inquiries and Investigations team has been operating since the 1990s, working on such diverse and historic matters as the Bloody Sunday, Rosemary Nelson, Grenfell Tower, Post Office Horizon and Angiolini inquiries. Our experience on both sides of the table allows us to quickly guide you through what can feel like a daunting process.

These are always sensitive, high-profile events, which presents its own challenges in terms of reputation and risk management and scrutiny from the media and the public. The sheer volume of material which inquiries consider and their ability to overturn many stones can be both daunting and overwhelming. We use the size and range of our team to ensure that no detail is overlooked, and you are well-prepared for every possible line of inquiry.

We are proud to provide a dedicated Public Inquiries and Investigations team, rather than part-time litigators or regulatory lawyers tackling an inquiry as a side-project: this is what we do, it is all we do, and you can trust us to represent you with the gusto and confidence that comes with this track record. Our team includes lawyers who have come to us from government departments, strengthening our knowledge of the main participants and ability to forecast how the inquiry will unfold for you.
