Local Government

Against that backdrop, you need a law firm that really knows the territory. Our legal team works across local government, including police, fire authorities, fire services and national park authorities.

We are delighted to have been appointed to several Crown Commercial Services frameworks. In addition to our existing public sector contracts, these appointments reinforce the strength and depth of our commercial practice and our strong relationship with the UK government, which has been forged over many years.

We’re a dedicated team with a passion for local government - but we’re also part of a big, diverse firm who can pull in knowledge from other areas of the law: our work for the commercial sector only strengthens the advice we give to you. We can also harness our knowledge of public law to support you. We’ll advise you on your powers, responsibilities and governance frameworks, including challenges by way of judicial review.

Our lawyers are thought leaders in the sector, and proactive with it. Our Local Government team can provide you with briefings on new policy, legislation and case law as it emerges. We understand the pressures you face working as part of a big organisation, dealing with the political process and the public. Whatever challenges you are facing, we can help.
