Central government

Appointed to Tier One on the Crown Commercial Services General Legal Advisory Services panel, we have a proven track record of advising government.

Our experience spans ministerial and non-ministerial departments, executive agencies, non-departmental bodies and public corporations.

We're able to advise across the spectrum, including commercial contracts, public procurements, real estate, employment and pensions and dispute resolution.

Members of our public sector team have worked in-house within the public sector, including directly within central government, giving us a deep insight into the working culture and issues being faced.

Introducing co-sourcing

With reduced budgets continuing to impact the sector, organisations are looking at innovative ways to solve their resourcing issues.

To help address this challenge, we've developed co-sourcing; a practical solution to help with resourcing needs. This is a collaborative arrangement where our team of experts act as an extension of in-house teams.

Our co-sourcing solution mitigates the concerns often expressed when externalising work, as control of the project, resource level, procedures, knowledge retention, quality and costs is retained by the client.

Clients include
