‘A real specialist team’ in parliamentary and planning advice, Sharpe Pritchard LLP is a mainstay for public bodies pursuing the promotion of private bills, as well as opponents of infrastructure projects requiring approval by way of hybrid bills, DCOs, and TWAOs. Reputed for its high volume of work both promoting and opposing nationally significant infrastructure private bills, the team is sought out by local authorities, large landowners, and registered charities for assistance with opposing different stages of the HS2 railway project. The practice benefits from the acumen of Roll A Parliamentary Agents Alastair Lewis, who ’exemplifies the ability to bring great expertise and experience to clients’, particularly in the energy and transport sectors, and Emyr Thomas, who is ‘knowledgeable, experienced, and well-connected’ in lodging objections to large infrastructure projects. Real estate specialist Aidan Dickinson lends his compulsory purchase law expertise to clients with land affected by infrastructure schemes and DCOs.
