Public Sector
"We are in exceptionally challenging times for the public sector. The impetus to improve service delivery whilst making financial savings and the need to secure compliance within an increasingly complex regulatory environment means that you need experienced and flexible legal support. We hope Freeth Cartwright can provide this."
Stephen Pearson, Partner
"We are here to help you meet these challenges; to support and guide you through them. Whether you need some additional resources or its something new which you haven't approached before we are here to work along side you as part of your team."
Philippa Dempster, Partner
Our Public Sector team has a demonstrable track record of giving true ‘added value’. We have been a pioneer in demonstrating genuine partnership working with a range of public sector client bodies, including Local Authorities, NHS Trusts and Universities, having already had a successful partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council (an exemplary County Council!) for 5 years.
Our aim is to be regarded as an extension to your in-house legal teams, giving flexibility and support where it is needed without a substantial cost premium. We achieve this by:
- Knowing your people and your people knowing us.
- Hands on management of your account.
- Having a range of expertise in all key areas.
- Having substantial teams ready and able to assist in key areas together with substantial specialisms in particular sectors such as construction, planning, public procurement and litigation.
- Offering a genuinely open and inclusive approach to our clients.
We perceive the benefits that we can offer for you include:
- Strength in depth.
- An enhanced team ready to ensure a speedy response.
- Experience.
- A genuinely local service. Unlike many of our competitors, we are an East Midlands Firm, with 3 offices in the region rather than a national firm with a local branch. We have a genuine commitment to developing our services and enhancing our resources within the region.
