Government and public sector

Pinsent Masons conducts a wide range of work for central and local government, and is one of a handful of ‘Tier 1’ firms appointed to provide a full range of legal services on the Crown Commercial Service's panel.

Specialist

Over 1600 lawyers working with central government, over 100 local authorities and public sector bodies each year.

Tier 1

We are appointed to the General Legal Advice Service panel (RM3786) for UK central government and public bodies and the Wider Public Sector panel (RM3788) for UK local government.

Long-standing relationship

We have supported central governments for over 30 years on a broad range of projects.

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.
