Government & Public Sector
We advise public bodies on their obligations and businesses on how to work with them, from procurement and tenders to regulatory decisions and review.
Overview
Advising public bodies, and those who deal with them.
Government work has its own rules: procurement frameworks, probity, statutory decision-making, administrative review and public accountability. We advise local councils, agencies and statutory bodies on all of these, and we advise businesses tendering for, contracting with or challenging government.
Whether we are drafting a tender response, reviewing a grant agreement or seeking review of an administrative decision, we bring the same clarity and commercial focus as our private sector work, with a firm grasp of the public law that sits behind it.
