Professional background
I advise clients on challenging unlawful decisions by public bodies. I provide strategic commercially focused advice to support clients in achieving their objectives.
I also frequently advise regulators and other public bodies on the drafting, development, and application of rules and legislative frameworks. I am a current member of the Association of Regulatory and Disciplinary Lawyers.
Recent work includes:

- Conducting an independent review for the government of an EU Member State intended to develop its system of judicial review, support improvements in the country's governance and strengthen the rule of law.
- Assisting an environmental charity in bringing a high profile judicial review claim against Defra in connection with its strategy to address sewage overflows.
- Acting for a group of public bodies in defending a judicial review claim regarding a public consultation.

Public inquiries: What are the similarities and differences between the UK and the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies?
08.01.2026
When a crisis hits in the UK – whether it is a public health emergency, a scandal, or a tragedy – the UK Government often turns to a statutory public inquiry to get to the bottom of what happened. However, inquiries are not just a UK phenomenon. They are also a tool for transparency and accountability across the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies. But while the end goal is usually the same, their rules and processes can differ in interesting ways.
