Public Sector

Best value…always!

As in most Western countries, the public sector is defined as part of the economy responsible for providing basic government services. In the UK, and with a workforce exceeding 5 million people, this includes services such as public roads, primary education, housing, healthcare for the poor, police and the military.

With a diverse portfolio of services to be provided, locations, facilities and people from all walks of life; the public sector faces more challenges than ever before. Financial and reputational considerations are of paramount importance.

With a dedicated team that has real pedigree gained from many years’ experience working in the sector, we can assist you with legal, regulatory, strategic and commercial advice. Clients include over 50 public bodies, the Metropolitan Police Force and 14 other forces, the Ministry of Defence and all the major insurers and claims handlers in the sector.

Our aim is to provide best value at all times drawn from:

  • Our knowledge and experience
  • Having a real affinity with the public sector
  • A national network of offices which means we are always local to you
  • An ability to tailor teams to the individual needs of clients
  • Providing the highest quality work at the most competitive rates
  • A Partner-led approach

We are able to further enhance our offering by seamlessly co-coordinating with colleagues from other specialist practice areas such as:

  • Costs
  • Catastrophic loss
  • Occupational disease
  • Professional indemnity
  • Regulatory

Our pledge is that a leading practitioner will be assigned to each and every matter to ensure you receive the best possible legal guidance at all times.
