Local Government
Pinsent Masons is focused on supporting local government with authoritative legal advice on key strategic issues. We combine the best of commercial and public law, backed by real experience of working in, and for, local authorities, to offer practical and sensitive advice.
We are nationally rated in Strategic Partnering/PPP, Procurement and Public Law and have advised on major, often leading edge, projects across property, street services, IT, housing, waste and education. Our experience in governance and leading reputation in employment law means we can also deal with the sometimes difficult issues of accountability and change.
- Advisers to over 80 local authorities
- Project team of over 100 lawyers
- Policy, development and guidance advice to ODPM (now the DCLG) and 4Ps
