Constitutional and Legislative Drafting

Research and drafting for constitutions, legislation, regulations and amendments.

How Horn Legal can help

Start with the facts and the legal question.

Drafting starts before the first clause. We clarify the policy instruction, research the existing law and identify who will exercise each proposed power or duty.

We then prepare or review the text, explain drafting choices and revise it after consultation. The work may also include explanatory notes, drafting instructions and an assessment of what institutions will need in order to implement the law.
