Government and public sector
Pinsent Masons conducts a wide range of work for central and local government, and is one of a handful of firms appointed to the UK Government’s Legal Panel to provide a full range of legal services on major projects and complex work.
Pinsent Masons is independently recognised as one of the leading legal providers to the public sector. We understand how the public sector works, and know the challenges faced by those who see an increasing demand for services against a backdrop of constrained resources. We have worked with governments and public bodies around the world, including Northern Ireland, Spain, Germany, Uganda, Qatar and Singapore.
We are committed to helping the public sector to deliver despite its difficult agenda in these fast-moving, unprecedented political times. We have worked with the UK central government, including through projects for the Ministry of Justice, Highways England, DCMS and DWP, for over 30 years.
