Pinsent Masons LLP

Pinsent Masons LLP's parliamentary and infrastructure team advises on the statutory and legislative frameworks that support major infrastructure projects. The team works across the transport, energy and water sectors, with experience spanning private and hybrid bills, DCOs, TWAOs, Harbour Orders and broader legislative developments. Much of their work involves navigating the intersection between legal process and parliamentary procedure, particularly where statutory powers are required. Robbie Owen, a Roll A Parliamentary Agent, has long experience advising on infrastructure schemes promoted through parliamentary and statutory routes. Heidi Slater focuses on public sector infrastructure and regeneration work, often acting on behalf of local and regional authorities. David Thorneloe draws on experience from government legal departments, where he was closely involved in the development and passage of primary and secondary legislation. His insight into parliamentary procedure and policy-making informs much of the team’s legislative advice. George Wilson advises on planning and consenting matters, with a focus on infrastructure requiring TWAOs, DCOs and parliamentary powers. The team operates with an emphasis on legal detail and institutional process over promotional positioning.
