As an associate in our UK & EU Public Law and Policy team, Telha advises clients from both the public and private sectors on all stages of government decision making, from initial policy development through to judicial review challenges. He has experience in contentious and advisory matters, typically acting for multinational companies but also for trade associations, public bodies and regulators.

Telha advises clients across a range of heavily regulated industry sectors, including healthcare, energy, financial services and transport. He assists businesses to engage effectively with government and shape the laws, policies and regulations that affect them.

Telha recognises that there are often significant advantages to avoiding litigation and helps clients to reach constructive and pragmatic solutions with public bodies at an early stage of the decision making process. However, when litigation is the best option, Telha is able to draw on his experience of acting in complex judicial reviews, information rights appeals and other legal challenges.

Telha is also a member of our constitutional change taskforce, which provides advice to clients on constitutional issues of fundamental importance to business, such as Brexit, devolution and human rights reform.

While at university, Telha was heavily involved in student human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Student Action for Refugees. He has also acted for several pro bono clients in public law matters during his time at the firm.
