Constitutional & Administrative
Public-law remedies and challenges involving regulators and public authorities.
What this covers
We advise where a decision, omission or exercise of public power affects legal rights, regulated activity, property, procurement or a commercial project. The work includes evaluating jurisdiction and available public-law remedies, preparing the administrative record and pursuing representations or court proceedings where justified.

A legally grounded response to government or regulatory action, with the wider stakeholder context understood.
Typical matters
- Constitutional petitions and judicial-review proceedings
- Challenges to licensing, blacklisting and regulatory decisions
- Procurement, tender and public-body disputes
- Administrative hearings, statutory representations and review applications
- Urgent interim relief against unlawful or procedurally unfair action
Possible deliverables

Practical questions
Frequently asked questions
When can administrative action be challenged?
A challenge may be available where an authority acts without lawful power, ignores mandatory procedure, denies a fair hearing, reaches an irrational decision or otherwise violates an enforceable right. The precise remedy depends on the governing law and facts.
Is urgent interim relief available in public-law matters?
Potentially. The court considers jurisdiction, urgency, the apparent merits, balance of convenience and risk of irreparable harm. The supporting record should therefore be prepared promptly and carefully.
