Governance

Public sector governance – the regulations, policies and procedures put in place to run a public body legally and effectively – has come under increasing scrutiny as budget cuts and the transparency agenda move accountability centre stage. Our public law team are experts at helping you put good governance at the heart of your organisation.

With your organisation in the spotlight, it's more important than ever to have watertight governance in place. We work with clients across the public sector, from central and local government to statutory and chartered bodies and professional regulators.

We help you create robust policies and procedures on matters from regulatory and budget compliance to information management. We help you anticipate change, giving you the space to achieve your goal free from legal challenge.

Adding value and quality

We understand the special culture that applies to public service. That's why our service is about more than making sure our clients stay within the law. We also help you add value and quality to the public functions you carry out.

We offer pragmatic, expert advice to help you develop policies, procedures and decision-making processes that deter and, where necessary, withstand a legal challenge. Where challenge is unavoidable, our market-leading dispute resolution lawyers will be with you every step of the way.

Unlike some legal practices, our team comprises lawyers and partners who genuinely specialise in public law. Based at our offices in London, Bristol and Leeds they combine a wide range of legal skills to advise on all aspects of policy-making and governance ­- and the financial and legal implications that accompany them.
