Public sector cuts in spending has put pressure on how
central and local government finance, manage and deliver public
services.
Our public sector experience, which includes acting for
government departments, national regulators, local authorities and
public sector agencies across the range of our services,
means that we are well placed to provide advice on the complex
legal issues that our public sector clients now face. As a
result we have successfully secured membership of two key
procurement panels for public sector work. The first of these is
Buying
Solutions (formerly known as Catalist), the
Government's centralised legal services 'super panel' on
which we have been awarded places as advisers in
three categories - 'IT, Telecommunications and
E-Commerce', 'Intellectual Property' and 'Property and
Estates'; the second public sector panel is Lit-Cat. We have also filmed
Webinars on a number of subject areas for Local Authority
training.
