Public law

Eversheds offers unrivalled expertise in relation to public law matters affecting local government. We have given core vires advice on a wide range of transactions and schemes and are able to advise at the highest strategic level. For example, we have undertaken options appraisals on the best vehicles for strategic partnerships and regeneration schemes and in the area of charging and trading we have provided advice on the interpretation of the Local Government Act 2003 in relation to trading companies.

The area of governance is a regular part of our work for local government, from member misconduct and the drafting of a new constitution, to probity or issues relating to decision making, we are available to assist the in house team.
