Sharpe Pritchard LLP focuses on parliamentary and infrastructure work, primarily acting for public sector clients. The firm is particularly known for promoting private Acts of Parliament—having promoted more than any other firm of parliamentary agents—and for advising those opposing infrastructure projects requiring statutory authorisation, including hybrid bills, Development Consent Orders, and Transport and Works Act Orders. Alastair Lewis advises on the consenting of nationally significant infrastructure projects, including DCOs, TWAOs and harbour revision orders. His work also involves drafting primary and secondary legislation, advising on amendments to government bills and navigating parliamentary procedures. Emyr Thomas specialises in drafting, promoting and opposing legislation, advising on procedural issues, and acting as an advocate before parliamentary committees. He is regularly involved in DCO processes, including the special parliamentary procedure, and also advises on compulsory purchase, planning and environmental law. Aidan Dickinson leads the firm’s compulsory purchase work, advising acquiring authorities through all stages of the process. He also advises on land transactions and represents clients promoting or objecting to infrastructure projects requiring statutory powers.
