Regulatory and Associated Public Law

From finance to sport, utilities to transport, professional services to the environment, regulations are everywhere and affect everyone. And as regulators broaden their scope and regulatory systems expand and develop, complex questions arise. How should a particular rule be interpreted? What happens in novel situations? What about conflicts of rules?

Wilberforce Chambers has the expertise and resources to meet your needs. With our depth of experience in advising and representing clients in heavily regulated sectors, we can provide a comprehensive service that is sensitive to your commercial requirements. We pride ourselves in not simply explaining the relevant regulations, but offering pragmatic, practical advice that solves problems in a straightforward way.

Wilberforce Chambers have experience in most areas of regulatory law including financial services, professional services, sport, utilities (electricity and telecoms), transport, planning and environmental. In all these fields we work with clients to help them modify their working practices. Our aim is to deliver practical solutions that ensure compliance with the minimum of disruption to their businesses. Where disputes are already under way, we represent clients at public inquiries or disciplinary hearings, as well as at any subsequent appeals or judicial review.

It goes without saying that Wilberforce Chambers offers a range of leading and junior counsel, who bring the highest standards of legal expertise to the area. Wilberforce barristers are known for their intellectual firepower and subtle but forceful advocacy. And with our resources, we can provide the right person with the level of expertise that the case demands. Our members have great experience of working with experts and other professionals as part of a team.

What makes Wilberforce Chambers really stand out, though, is the calm, confident, user-friendly way in which we work. Independent researchers, Chambers Directory, described one of our members as ‘not making a song and dance' about things but ‘just getting them done'. In a tight corner, that's something our clients appreciate.
