Public Inquiries

When your organisation is involved in a public inquiry—whether as a core participant or witness—it’s essential to have expert legal and strategic support from day one.
At TLT, our multi-disciplinary team offers the experience, discretion and insight needed to guide you through these complex and high-stakes processes. Public inquiries can have profound reputational, regulatory and commercial implications. We help clients navigate these proceedings confidently, protecting their legal position, supporting internal teams, and managing external risks—including media, political and stakeholder engagement.
With over 25 years’ experience advising on some of the UK’s most high-profile inquiries, we bring unmatched insight into the inner workings of the inquiry process. Our team understands the pressures, pace and scrutiny involved and works seamlessly with clients to provide end-to-end legal and project support.
Experience
- Acting as Solicitors to the Inquiry, leading on legal strategy, disclosure, and operational delivery.
- Advising core participants and witnesses, including senior executives and board members.
- Offering insider perspective from working within inquiry legal teams and public bodies.
- Collaborating with top-tier counsel and offering trauma-informed support for sensitive matters.
We help our clients stay one step ahead, while we manage the detail.
