We provide advice on all public and administrative law issues to both public and private sector clients.

Clifford Chance has a skilled team with broad experience across all domestic public and administrative law issues, including all administrative court proceedings, judicial review and public inquiries.

We regularly advise governments, public, and private sector clients on navigating administrative law requirements and pursuing remedies against public authorities in jurisdictions around the world.

Our lawyers have experience in dealing with contentious administrative law proceedings, regulatory appeals, public and procurement law advice, and assistance with appearances before legislative and parliamentary committees. Our experience also includes acting in judicial review proceedings challenging the validity of the primary legislation, including in the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights.

We are very aware of the sensitivities which arise when dealing with a government or regulator, and we try to resolve disputes in a way that recognises the need for an ongoing relationship. We leverage our ability to work internationally to co-ordinate a client's approach across jurisdictions, and combine Clifford Chance's unique capacity to provide advice from expert administrative lawyers in concert with our market leading public policy and regulatory practices.

Many of our public and administrative lawyers have extensive previous experience working inside governments and ministries in a range of jurisdictions, and bring this experience to bear in our work for public and private sector clients alike.
