Telha advises on all stages of government decision making, from initial policy development through to judicial review challenges.
As a member of the public law and policy team, Telha helps his clients navigate complex regulatory environments. He has advised a number of innovative companies facing novel regulatory issues, working closely with them to engage effectively with government and shape the policy and regulation that affects them.
He has particular experience in providing a unique combined legal and public policy perspective, having guided clients through high profile parliamentary and public inquiry processes and business-critical regulatory and policy change.
In contentious matters, Telha aims to help clients reach constructive and pragmatic solutions at the early stages of a dispute. However, when litigation is the best option, he is able to draw on his experience of acting in a range of complex cases and investigations including judicial reviews, statutory appeals and other regulatory disputes.
Telha is a member of the firm's constitutional change taskforce, which provides advice to clients on constitutional issues of fundamental importance to business, such as Brexit, devolution and human rights reform.
Telha has acted for several pro bono clients in public law matters during his time at the firm, particularly in matters relating to access to justice issues. He is also on the executive committee of the Human Rights Lawyers Association.
