OUR COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SECTOR WORK
Successfully delivering work for Central Government and the Wider Public Sector is part of Addleshaw Goddard's DNA. We have been advising Ministerial Departments and Executive Agencies as well as Local Authorities, NHS Trusts, Universities, Registered Providers and Academy Trusts throughout the UK for decades, with focus spanning across high profile, strategically important government projects, regeneration, health, education, PFI/PPP, transport, energy, pensions & employment, general commercial and IT. We offer a full commercial service, including all aspects of public law including procurement, powers/vires and subsidy control, acting on schemes and projects of all types, including joint ventures, development schemes, service contracts and outsourcing arrangements.
We understand both the legal framework within which the public sector operates, and also the high level of political scrutiny which is applied to the decisions public sector bodies make. We know how this impacts on the legal advice required. Our work fully embraces the need at all times to demonstrate value for money, transparency, and statutory compliance.
We know that contract terms and our advice must take into account the wider strategic, policy and economic objectives under which our public sector clients operate.
Our agile Central Government and Wider Public Sector teams work from offices across the UK, combining true national reach with local roots.
