Why work with our Election Law team?

We have built a reputation as one of a handful of ‘go to’ firms in this specialist area of law.

Our director James Roochove has been involved in politics and campaigning for over 15 years, previously acting as a campaign manager and working in the Welsh Assembly before becoming a lawyer. In addition to dealing with election law issues he advises on a whole range of legal issues affecting those involved in politics.
