As an experienced user of information law, I've practised in this area while wearing different hats for over 10 years, working with charities, journalists and researchers as well as public authorities. I now offer advice and representation on data breaches, FOI and privacy disputes, covering Tribunal appeals and civil court matters.

Some of my recent information law cases have concerned high profile archive documents dating back to 1938 and sensitive law enforcement issues. I have handled numerous damages claims against public authorities over the unauthorised disclosure of personal data, rectification of inaccurate records, breaches of human rights and vicarious liability claims.

I am Head of Public Law at 3 Paper Buildings Chambers, bringing over a decade of experience in a range of subject areas.

I help keep public authorities within the law through advice, representation and training. I empower clients with knowledge of their rights and obligations. I have a strong track-record of providing cutting-edge, strategic advice on new and complex points of law and, where necessary, acting in long-running, large-scale judicial reviews and appeals. Alongside my judicial review practice, I take on a limited number of public interest Tribunal cases in the areas of disability discrimination and information rights.

I provide the following services:

• Advice on the lawfulness of a public body's decisions, procedures or policies;
• Drafting legal documents (eg. policy guidance);
• All aspects of judicial review (from pre-action protocol to appeals and costs);
• Representing clients at hearings in the Administrative Court or Court of Appeal;
• Institutional investigations into decision-making or procedures;
• Advising on compliance with equalities and human rights duties.
