Ombudsman

Our public law specialists offer dedicated advice and assistance to the many Ombudsman services now operating across the UK, covering topics such as the identification of maladministration as distinct from legal obligation, the nature and extent of discretion and all questions relating to jurisdiction, to assist in the conduct of investigations.

We are not only experienced in defending Judicial Review Claims – we are expert in avoiding such challenges, using our practical understanding of the Human Rights Act (1998). Our in-depth expertise in the field of Mental Health Law is in increasing demand and we offer front-line and management training in this rapidly expanding area.
