We advise individuals and organisations at every stage of the inquiry process. This includes reviewing vast amounts of material, preparing written evidence and preparing clients for giving oral evidence at the Inquiry which is understandably a highly stressful experience.
We are mindful that public inquiries are renowned for attracting a significant amount of media attention and can have considerable consequences for those concerned. We appreciate that involvement in an Inquiry can have wider ramifications including professional, reputational, and financial impact. We provide advice in respect privilege against self-incrimination. These issues need to be carefully considered alongside our preparation for the Inquiry.
Finally, we also provide advice to clients in responding to Rule 13 warning letters in respect of intended criticism to the individual.
