Official Information and Ombudsman

Transparency Isn’t Optional. But It Has Limits.

We assist both requesters and public sector agencies with disputes under the Official Information Act 1982 and Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987. We appreciate the power this legislation provides, particularly if harnessed properly in a disputes process. We are well versed in crafting requests suitably focussed to elicit the information required.

Our services include:

  • Drafting and responding to OIA/LGOIMA requests


  • Challenging withholding decisions


  • Protecting commercial or privileged material from release


  • Complaints to the Ombudsman


  • Managing the public fallout of disclosure
