Public sector specialists

Longstanding members of central and local government legal procurement panels, Howes Percival’s public sector team has built up expertise and experience that enables you to make more confident decisions and advise elected representatives and officials more positively.

While the range of issues we are called to advise on is broad, we have particular strengths in commercial agreements, property, insolvency, data protection, regulatory, social housing and debt collection.

We’ve acquired a depth of experience in public sector issues and advice but we are equally well known for the strength of the relationships we’ve built through partnership and our recognition of the importance of trust and reputation.

 

Availability without the angst

Howes Percival’s dedicated and supportive team is always ready to help and go above and beyond to provide the kind of service its clients need.

As a firm, we’ve worked hard to foster a unique culture that is both positive and productive, and our approach to cross disciplinary teamwork leverages skills and knowledge for the benefit of clients.

As a commercial enterprise we operate regionally with the ability to provide informed and accessible support without the City price tag.

We have assisted The Insolvency Service, HMRC and the Parliamentary Property Services Team in central government, NHS, Commercial Law Group and Homes England. We also work with local organisations, including Police & Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire, Braintree District Council, and South Holland District Council.
