Public Sector

Our trusted public sector team provides specialist advice to local authorities – from structures, subsidy control and public procurement, through to highly sensitive employment and dispute matters.

Public Sector Legal Services

With a deep understanding of the unique challenges and complexities Local Authorities face, our multi-disciplinary team provides full-service legal support on political, social and commercial levels.

We are on the legal panels for North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO), Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) and the North West Legal Consortium (NWLC) for wider public sector bodies.

Just to say thank you for the session today. Like many other people I have attended a considerable number of webinars over the last few months, and for me today’s session was by far the most interesting, informative and helpful of them all, with relevant practical information and advice which will be extremely useful when advising on our future procurement exercises.
