Able to more effectively service existing large public sector clients, including the Welsh government, as well as better placed to develop connections at local and central government level, Browne Jacobson's Cardiff office, which opened in July 2023, has hit the ground running. Indeed, public/administrative law is central to the majority of work handled by the team, from both a contentious and non-contentious perspective, with practitioners in the office having an excellent grounding in UK-wide issues, as well as on specific areas of Welsh devolution. Tim Edds 'understands the Welsh public sector, ensuring that the advice is informed by the wider context in Wales', and heads up the fledgling team that also includes a number of key associates, including Bill Cordingley, who has a focus on planning and environmental matters for public bodies.
