I have a range of experience in public and administrative law, with a particular focus on planning and environmental law. This includes judicial review proceedings, regulatory investigations, inquiries, licensing enforcement, district court prosecutions, planning law and statutory interpretation. I provide advisory services to public bodies, offering strategic advices on licensing and enforcement functions, as well as planning decision-making processes.

I also specialise in the investigation and presentation of cases for hearing before disciplinary committees of regulatory bodies. I am involved in advising regulatory bodies in relation to all aspects of their statutory functions, as well as in relation to their practices and procedures.

I have worked on high profile planning judicial review proceedings involving issues of planning, environmental, EU, public and administrative law and advise on and prepare prosecutions in respect of environmental offences, including breaches of various statutory provisions in national and European environmental legislation. I have also worked on planning injunctions concerning unauthorised development and enforcement proceedings concerning unlicensed activities.
