Local Authorities

Our specialist team has extensive experience of working for and against public sector organisations. The team is supported by a staff compliment of over 400. Our size ensures we are able to provide the breadth and depth of legal services which are relevant to the public sector.

Specialist services

We provide services to local authorities on a variety of internal management issues such as:

Standards of conduct
Information management
Debt recovery & insurance claims
Employment
Procurement
Training

Our legal services also extend to front line services including contentious and non-contentious matters affecting:

Anti-social behaviour
Benefits
Child care
Commerce
Education
Environment
Highways
Housing
Licensing
Planning
Property
Social Services
Trading Standards

Our services extend beyond purely legal work. For example our planning team includes planning consultants as well as specialist lawyers. Several of our local authority specialists have worked in local government and so we have a full understanding of the practical issues which public sector bodies face on a daily basis.
