Public Law, Planning and Regulatory
Members of the Public Law, Planning and Regulatory Group have the highest degree of experience of the specialist areas of public bodies and are regularly instructed by those bodies and by individuals and groups affected by their decisions. The expansion of regulatory functions has been readily embraced by practitioners who have developed special expertise in discrete areas of law and act for and against national bodies and departments, and local authorities, throughout Wales and in England.
Tribunal and public inquiry work is a growth area and a number of members were extensively involved in the E Coli Inquiry set up by the National Assembly. As well as representation at all levels there is significant advisory work, often on an ongoing basis.

- Animal Welfare
