Support Services

We recognise that many public bodies have their own in-house legal teams and we do not wish to undertake services best dealt with in-house. But when it comes to specialist advice or a requirement for an independent view, we have structured our services to support a wide range of public sector projects. Our goal is to help local authorities and other public bodies meet their corporate aims.
