The ownership and delivery of public services have undergone dramatic change over recent years, and this process is continuing. Across a wide range of services including healthcare, elderly care, children’s services, education, leisure services, and transport, we provide support to those in local government and other public authorities who are contemplating possible changes in ownership and delivery.
We specialise in change management and as well as providing technical support to public authorities in their operation and process, we actively seek to pioneer new forms of ownership and new means of delivery to provide alternative options for consideration at policy level.
In particular, we develop ownership models, which guarantee a commitment to serving the needs of local communities, and are based upon principles of democratic accountability. We have already established such models in leisure services, healthcare, elderly care, childcare and housing. Now recognised as the leading UK law-firm in mutual and co-operative law we regularly advise local, regional and national government on the applicability of such forms of ownership in public services.
We have been at the forefront of the government's programme for establishing foundation trusts, acting for more than a third of authorised trusts, providing advice and support to the Department of Health.
Our team includes those with wide personal experience working in the public sector, and in employee-ownership. One of our team is an Associate of the Strategic Partnering Taskforce of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, and another is a member of the NHS Foundation Trusts External Reference Group. |
