Judicial Review & Procurement Challenges

Geldards’ experienced lawyers in our public sector team protect and advance our clients’ interests in all kinds of public law disputes and litigation, including judicial review and statutory challenges, and procurement challenges.

Our clients include local authorities, central government, NDPBs and regulatory bodies. We also advise businesses, organisations and individuals.

We understand the sensitivities associated with public law disputes, so we aim to resolve them quickly and effectively. We seek to align ourselves with your objectives and work closely with you to execute an agreed strategy which delivers the best results.

Our highly skilled team uses negotiation, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, arbitration and litigation to resolve disputes. We are tenacious, thorough, pragmatic and fair. Most disputes settle out of court, but if litigation is unavoidable or is in your interests, we have a proven track record of obtaining results.

Our team is responsive, easy to work with and cost-conscious. We are transparent on costs and, if appropriate, we will discuss with you various funding options including third party funding, insurance, risk-sharing fee agreements, fixed fees and crowdfunding.

We deal with disputes of all sizes and profiles, from lower-value claims through to complex, high-value, high-profile litigation with multiple parties.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Judicial review and statutory challenges
  • Procurement challenges
  • Planning appeals and enforcement
  • Regulatory prosecutions and defences
  • Public Inquiries
  • Claims in the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber)
