Government & Public Sector Lawyers
We understand the unique demands of the public sector, where balancing efficiency, compliance, and public interest is critical.
Our team works closely with clients to develop strategies that not only meet immediate legal and regulatory needs but also position them for long-term success.
For over 25 years, we have been dedicated to providing expert legal advice to the public sector.
Our team comprises senior, experienced public sector lawyers and former high-ranking public sector legal professionals, all recognised as leaders in their fields. We specialise in public sector law and are often called upon to collaborate with clients on complex, high-profile issues, offering critical and constructive insights when reviewing practices and policies.
Our extensive expertise covers areas such as Property, Planning, Local Government governance and constitutional law, Code of Conduct and Standards complaints, investigations and reviews, support to Monitoring Officers, Employment Law, and Pensions. We also excel in public procurement, effective contract management, social value, and subsidy control.
Committed to the sector's growth, we offer mentoring, coaching, and support to help develop team members as they advance in their careers.
Our goal is to enrich your experience by empowering you to make informed, confident decisions.
Our expertise
We are proud to be appointed to numerous public sector frameworks, enabling public sector bodies to engage our services without initiating a new procurement process.
Since 2013, we have been a panel member of Lawyers in Local Government (LLG), granting over 30 local and public authorities streamlined access to our legal expertise. Our commitment to the public sector is further demonstrated by our active membership in the Procurement Lawyers' Association (PLA), a UK-wide body representing all those involved in public procurement law.
Allison has provided day to day employment law advice on issues ranging from the removal of allowances and benefits to dealing with an unfair dismissal claim involving complaints of whistle blowing. She has provided high quality advice and support on a complex and specialist local government case. Allison provides pragmatic, commercial advice whilst understanding the issues affecting organisations operating in the public sector.
