Public sector
We offer the full range of legal
services to the public sector. This capability has been cemented by
our recent re-appointment to the Catalist legal panel (the
government’s legal advice framework managed by OGCbuying.solutions)
where we are able to advise on all legal categories managed by
Catalist. For more information on Catalist, please visit the
OGC website.
We provide focused, commercial and
cost effective advice to:
- Central Government – including
central government departments, executive agencies, trading funds,
NDPBs and public corporations
- Local Government
- the regulatory
sector
- the voluntary and community
sector
- private sector enterprises
engaging with the public sector
Our track record speaks for itself.
We are trusted by some of the most significant institutions in
British public life - the Law Society of England and Wales, the
Home Office, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the General
Medical Council and the BBC are just a handful of examples - to
advise them on matters of the utmost political and commercial
sensitivity. We recently advised central government on the
setting-up of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and are
advising the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors about the
separation of its regulatory and representative functions following
the Carsberg report.
We pride ourselves on bringing to our
public sector work not merely the highest quality of legal skills
and the utmost attention to detail, but a depth of understanding
and alignment with public sector values and organisational
culture. As a result, our lawyers not only work for you, they
truly work with you.
