LEADING Public Law Solicitors

We advise on a wide range of public and administrative law issues arising out of decisions made by government or public bodies, particularly in relation to judicial review. We also advise professional bodies and their members in relation to their regulatory obligations and disciplinary procedures.

We act for claimants, defendants, interested parties and/or intervening third parties in administrative and public law issues across a variety of proceedings including judicial review, disciplinary proceedings and procurement disputes.

At Payne Hicks Beach, we have specialist knowledge, in particular, in the educational sector and working for charities but we also act for private individuals and professional bodies. Our Privacy, Reputation and Media team has been instructed by high profile individuals to manage the reputational impact of their involvement.
