Judicial Review

We assist our clients with challenging decisions.

Our judicial review practice is the heart of our administrative and public law work. We offer clients knowledge and expertise in administrative law backed by a formidable litigation and dispute resolution practice. Therefore, when the decisions of our clients are attacked as being improper, illegal or unreasonable, we offer a full range of services from agency and advice through to advocacy in the Court of Session.

Judicial reviews often arrive unannounced and unexpected.

Challenges to official actions can arise at short notice and in quite diverse circumstances. Our clients benefit from our substantial resources which allow us to quickly assemble a strong and experienced team to best represent their interests. We are contactable by you out with usual business hours, and as caveat holders for a significant number of public bodies we are alerted directly by the courts if a review is lodged against a client without prior notice.   Our clients can rest assured that in or out of court their interests are being protected.

Although the right to judicial review is well-established, as indeed are our services in this field, the basis upon which these reviews can be raised is ever evolving. We ensure that our expertise anticipates these developments and we use our market-leading position to continually monitor proposed legislation.
