We have acted in a number of high profile statutory and non-statutory public inquiries which span all areas of public life, and are adept at navigating the often-complicated inquiry rules and procedures.
Individual members of the team have been involved in many of the major public inquiries held in the UK over the past 20 years, including:
- the Leveson Inquiry;
- the Chilcot (Iraq War) Inquiry;
- the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA);
- the Undercover Policing Inquiry;
- the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry;
- the Manchester Arena Inquiry;
- the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.
In those various inquiries, members of the team have acted for individual and corporate witnesses or core participants at all stages of the process. This includes advising on issues including participant status, immunity agreements and the privilege against self-incrimination; assisting with the preparation of written evidence to the Inquiry; and, making representations on inquiry management issues such as disclosure, anonymity, confidentiality, data protection and legal professional privilege.
