Freedom of Information & Information Management

How information is managed and protected has never been more high-profile than it is in current times. Information management is therefore a key area of consideration for public sector organisations and any individual or commercial organisation connected to them. It allows them to establish the differences between public information and private information, and to manage requests under the Freedom of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations.

We assist our clients with all areas of information management relating to the public sector concentrating on developing strategies and assisting with the protection of information. We have detailed knowledge not only of the direct law in this area, but also the related law such as confidentiality, data protection and the laws of privacy.

We are also frequently called upon to advise on strategies for obtaining information from the public sector, acting on behalf of individuals and organisations, both public and private.
