Public Sector
The public sector is an area of strategic focus for our firm. We have a longstanding relationship with clients within the public sector who appreciate our in-depth understanding of the particular issues and the political sensitivities that such organisations face.
We represent over 100 public sector organisations including:
- The Ministry of Defence
- Scottish Government
- The City of Edinburgh Council
- Aberdeen City Council
- Moray Council
- Fife Council
- Falkirk Council
- Transport Scotland
- Trunk Roads Network Management
- Scottish Agricultural College
- Strathclyde Police
- Historic Scotland
Public sector organisations are facing unheralded financial pressures against the background of an unrelenting demand for services. This means that all decisions over the next few years will have to be managed closely to ensure that maximum public benefit is derived from the limited budget available. We deliver cost effective, pragmatic advice and – with vast experience in this sector – we can quickly identify the key issues in any transaction and deal with these to keep matters moving.
Our public sector team is cross-divisional and draws on experience from specialists in the following teams:
- Projects
- Real Estate
- Planning and Environmental
- Health & Safety
- Employment
- Public Law and Regulatory Compliance
- Procurement, Competition & State Aid
- Litigation
- Corporate
- Banking & Finance
- Intellectual Property
- IT
- FOISA and Data Protection
- Transport
- Construction
- Childcare and Family Law
This team based approach is essential in the Public Sector where many large transactions require specialist input from various different service areas.
We appreciate the vital and often onerous services that public sector organisations provide, which have a value beyond private sector profit and, as such we are proud of our extensive involvement in this sector.
