Freedom of information and public records

Kayrouz & Associates supports both private entities and public bodies in matters involving access to information and the protection of sensitive government-held data. We advise on compliance with freedom of information principles, public access laws, and internal disclosure frameworks applicable to ministries, regulators, and semi-governmental entities.

For individuals and organisations seeking access to public records, we guide clients through the request process, prepare formal applications, and advise on appeals in cases of denial or partial disclosure. Our lawyers are skilled at balancing transparency obligations with privacy, confidentiality, and national security restrictions.

We also work with government entities to develop disclosure policies and manage requests in a consistent, legally defensible manner. This includes training public sector teams on proper handling of personal data, internal memos, contracts, and regulatory filings.
