Freedom of information
Public sector organisations have a strict duty to disclose information in response to requests from members of the public or other organisations.
We advise public sector organisations who receive requests for information under Freedom of Information legislation and also those who are making the requests. From our offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London we advise companies and public sector organisations across the UK and many of our lawyers are dual-qualified (Scotland/England and Wales).
Clear advice
We understand the need to respond to a Freedom of Information request promptly and as fully as possible to try to satisfy the applicant. We appreciate the need for swift advice to meet statutory deadlines, and we're responsive in telling you quickly and clearly what has to be disclosed and which exemptions apply to prevent disclosure.
