The FOIA can be a powerful business and campaigning tool. In the USA, which has had FOI legislation since 1966, the majority of applications are for commercial information.
But using the Act to its full potential can be complex and time consuming. We’re here to do that work for you. Our team of specialists are able to quickly locate, access and present the information to help your case in areas such as:
- Competitor intelligence. While genuine commercial secrets are exempt from disclosure, details of previous rival bids for public contracts, and much else, can be unearthed.
- Customer intelligence and marketing. We can locate critical information on public sector clients; their requirements and the criteria they apply when awarding and evaluating contracts.
- Ensuring fair treatment. If you suspect your organisation has been mistreated by an official body, we can seek the information that could help you gain redress.
- Legal cases. Information held by public bodies can often be utilised by lawyers in complex litigation and criminal cases.
- Media. We can do the FOIA research that many media organisations lack either the time or experience to undertake themselves.
- Campaigns. We can help charities, NGOs and industry bodies uncover official facts and figures to bolster their campaigns.
Analysis and reports
In its raw state the information available under the FOIA is often dense and confusing. We can analyse the data, and produce reports highlighting the information most useful to you and suggesting how it might be used to maximum effect.
