It is essential that the processes involving Government, civil service and the public sector are clearly understood. Our experienced lawyers have vast experience and excellent knowledge of the public sector and guide our clients in all dealings
We advise public sector clients on their statutory powers and fiduciary duties, and private sector clients on their interactions with the public sector.
Our work includes advising local authority, central government and other public sector clients on their statutory powers and fiduciary duties, and particularly on the ultra vires rule, which has developed to ensure that public bodies don’t stray beyond their powers.
