We have worked with the public and third sectors for many years. We consider ourselves strategic advisers who understand the nuances and challenges of the public and third sectors. Many of our public sector clients have worked with us for over 20 years.
Working collaboratively and in tandem with our clients is what we do best
We will invest the time needed to properly understand your organisation and we strive to build a genuine working partnership with you.
Our experience includes advising on complex contractual negotiations and resolving contractual disputes, TUPE and public sector procurement (including outsourcing and insourcing arrangements), human resource change management (including collective redundancies and reorganisations), equality and inclusion, trade unions and collective issues, contracts, policies and governance, judicial review challenges, joint venture agreements, redevelopment schemes and other real estate projects and social housing developments.
Social value is key to what we do. We will work with you to help further your own outcomes and objectives regarding social value.
We pride ourselves on our client service. During 2026 we were recognised by Legal 500 as the firm that received the most recommendations in the North West based on Legal 500’s interviews with over 14,000 referees put forward by law firms in the region. This accolade is testament to the work we do in improving our client service year on year.
Additionally, in 2025 another leading Legal Directory, Chambers & Partners, awarded us Regional Firm of the Year – again as a testament to our client service and again based wholly on client feedback.
We are a supplier to the Government Commercial Agency. We are a supplier on the Legal Panel for Government RM6374, Lot 2 (focused legal support) and Lot 3 (litigation and disputes).
