Strategic Guidance Through Complex Legislative Processes
Broadfield advises promoters, petitioners, and affected stakeholders on the promotion, amendment, and opposition of private and hybrid bills, as well as related parliamentary and statutory procedures. We are proud to maintain a longstanding specialist Parliamentary Agency Practice, one of a small number of firms authorised to act directly on private and hybrid legislation before the UK Parliament.

Why Broadfield
Securing legislative approval is often central to the successful delivery of major projects. Our Parliamentary Agents work seamlessly with colleagues across planning, infrastructure, real estate, litigation, and public law to provide a fully integrated service.
We understand that parliamentary processes rarely operate in isolation. Our advice is therefore grounded not only in procedural expertise but also in the wider commercial, political, and reputational context in which our clients operate.

Led by Mark Challis, the team advises on legislative processes central to delivering major infrastructure projects. David Mundy brings extensive experience in public, constitutional and regulatory law, with a focus on drafting and promoting legislation."
