Public/Private Sector Partnerships
Joint ventures and strategic partnerships between organisations traditionally seen as being on one side or the other of the public/private divide are increasingly common. They are creating a new playing field for both sides to do business on, and a new platform for business and service development.
We act for a range of client organisations engaging in such partnerships: the police, developers, registered social landlords, charities, educational foundations, professional bodies and institutions and elements of our church practice.
The key areas in which we can help include:
- Constitutional and Administrative law
- Public body powers
- Procurement
- European law issues
- Best Value
- Tendering procedures
- TUPE and other employment issues
- The management of change
- Trading by non-profit making entities
- Building contracts
- Disputes including Judicial Review instigated by unsuccessful bidders
