Jonathan Auburn and Joanne Clement are experienced barristers at 11KBW specialising in local authority (LA) service provision, particularly in adult social care, mental capacity, mental health and LA governance. They have examined the Coronavirus Bill in detail as it progressed through Parliament, and have advised on its operation on the main areas of LA service provision.
