When you’re working on long-term, high-value government projects, we know that you need experienced lawyers working seamlessly as one team.
We place great emphasis on working collaboratively, both internally and externally, to give you the best possible legal support.
We’re a straightforward and approachable group of people - something clients tell us makes a huge difference to getting the job done. In fact, they’ve often asked our lawyers to join their internal governance teams, to continue those excellent working relationships once a project is complete.
We understand that the government projects you’re working on are strategically important - they’re often complex and delivered under serious scrutiny, in a highly-regulated environment. Crucially, because we work on both sides of the table, for both public and private sector clients, we know what makes the other side tick and can use that experience to guide you.
On the public sector side, we act for central government departments, arms-length bodies, and wider public sector local authorities and municipalities. Our private sector clients include suppliers, contractors, developers, investors and financiers. The multi-disciplinary nature of these major strategic projects means that you don’t just need high-quality legal support, but specific sector knowledge - and we’ll bring it all together for you, from our network of lawyers across the world.
