Our public law team has significant experience advising and representing individuals, public bodies and other organisations at high-profile and complex public inquiries.
We are called upon to advise clients concerning the application of the Inquiries Act 2005 and supporting them through the inquiry process.
Our specialists have extensive experience advising and representing clients through Scotland’s most significant recent public inquiries, including the Edinburgh Tram Inquiry, the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry and the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.
We advise core participants on politically-sensitive matters, calling upon our multi-disciplinary team of subject-matter specialists to provide incisive advice, often at short notice and against a highly-scrutinised backdrop as proceedings take place in the public eye.
We are embedded in Scotland’s public sector. Our work in public inquiries in Scotland is led by Jennifer Jack, who has been independently ranked in the highest tier in Public & Administrative Law by Chambers UK for several years and her experience and client following greatly enhance Harper Macleod’s practice in this field.
Our specialist public inquiry lawyers draw their expertise from a wide range of sectors ranging from family law to construction and healthcare.
