This area covers the handling and disclosure of confidential information that could affect national security or relationships with government bodies, under the Official Secrets Acts. A solicitor advises organisations on compliance, audits information handling, drafts policies, reviews internal disclosures, and assists with investigations or responses to requests for information. They also advise on potential offences, exemptions, and defences, and help prepare responses to investigations or legal proceedings when secret material is implicated.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the technical provisions that govern forbidden disclosures, unlawful retention, and obtaining secret information, alongside the exemptions and public interest considerations. They address issues such as safeguarding procedures, staff training, secure communications, and liaison with authorities like the Intelligence Services, Home Office, and Crown Prosecution Service. They ensure appropriate governance, risk assessment, and documentation to manage complex regulatory obligations and possible criminal exposure.
