Bevan Brittan is a national law firm that delivers commercially astute legal advice to clients in three core markets: major corporates, health, and communities and local government.

The firm: As a dynamic, commercial law firm with an award-winning approach to client service, Bevan Brittan provides legal advice to clients both in the UK and abroad from offices in London, Bristol and Birmingham. Clients are at the heart of everything the firm does and it is organised internally around industry market sectors. The firm’s commitment to clients is emphasised by its client promises. In essence, they are the core values of the firm, setting the tone for its business and professional behaviour. The firm is committed to being a responsible business, a responsible employer and engaging with local communities. It operates a corporate responsibility committee and a diversity committee which are responsible for pro bono, charitable giving, fundraising, volunteering, environmental issues and promoting diversity within and outside the firm.

Types of work undertaken: One of Bevan Brittan’s most powerful attributes is its equal strength and depth in both the public and private sectors, allowing it to lead the field in bringing the two together. Bevan Brittan has been at the forefront of innovative PFI and public procurement schemes and has acted for both public and private sector clients.

The firm places particular emphasis on its profound ‘market knowledge’ in major corporates, health and communities, and local government. Within these broad markets, Bevan Brittan has an impressive range of sector experts covering the full range of legal skills and experience needed to provide in-depth, often highly specialised, expertise and advice in the context of our client’s business.

Major corporates: focusing on providing commercial and practical legal advice to businesses operating in key industry sectors — in particular, financial services, insurance companies, manufacturing and logistics, professional services, retail and TMT. Bevan Brittan has a strong client base of blue-chip and FTSE100 companies, including some international brands that are household names.

Health: As the leading practice in the UK in terms of size, national coverage and innovation, Bevan Brittan has been at the cutting edge of projects that are changing the market and in many cases helping to shape these changes themselves. The team advises on acute and emergency care, community health, mental health and primary care. They also advise commissioners, regulators and Strategic Health Authorities. The health client base includes a mix of both public and private-sector clients. Bevan Brittan is the leading expert in M&As for Foundation Trusts having advised on both of the mergers that have happened to date.

Communities and local government: The firm is recognised as being a leading player in advising local authorities and currently advises 25 per cent of all local authorities in England and Wales. Recognising the integrated nature of this market it acts for registered providers, contractors, developers and FM providers who work in partnership with local authorities and play a significant role in building communities and delivering the place shaping agenda. The firm’s work in this area is involved in every aspect of society; ranging from advising on the complex legal issues that arise when dealing with the most vulnerable members of our society to the detailed public private partnership agreements that deliver wide scale urban regeneration and social housing. This includes the successful delivery of major partnership arrangements for the design, build and construction of a large number of projects, such as hospitals, schools and care homes. The firm also advises on Building Schools for the Future (BSF) — the biggest-ever school buildings investment programme which aims to rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England.

  • Being a helpful Landlord may be a mistake!

    Most landlords and their solicitors try to resist the impulse to be helpful, however, in these recessionary times when landlords are concerned to avoid empty space, there may be the temptation to take shortcuts to ensure a letting proceeds. In circumstances where it is intended that Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (the 1954 Act) should not apply to the tenancy, i.e. that the tenant should not have the benefit of security of tenure, then occupation before the lease has been finalised (and the appropriate ‘contracting-out’ steps taken) is a potentially dangerous step and needs to be taken only when the landlord has fully comprehended the potential consequences.

  • New regime for approval of major transport projects set to ‘switch on’

    The Planning Act 2008 (the Act) introduces a new regime designed to speed up the planning and, in turn, the delivery of infrastructure projects of national significance.

  • The twilight zone: legal issues for directors

    there is no legal definition of the term ‘twilight zone’ (perhaps derived from the cult TV series, the writer would like to think), which is now widely used to describe a period of trading when a company has, or is predicted to have, insufficient cash to pay its debts as they fall due. This might be an immediate cash-flow crisis or the problem might be anticipated many months ahead.

  • Cloud computing:key issues for SMEs

    Although many definitions exist, broadly speaking ‘cloud computing’ is the outsourcing of specified IT functions via the internet (the cloud) to provide or receive services that would otherwise only be available if the end user had installed the appropriate hardware and/or software on desktops, or on local networks controlled by that organisation itself. Such services may include the use of software over the internet or remote storage of business data by a third-party provider. One benefit of this is that businesses can structure payment for these services differently (for example pay-as-you-go or on a subscription basis), rather than having to pay large sunk costs for long-term software licences, and the purchase and installation of IT infrastructure necessary to support the services locally.

  • Commission victorious in ‘regulatory holiday’ action brought against Germany

    On 3 December 2009, following an action brought by the European Commission under article 226 of the EC Treaty (now article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU) the European Court of Justice (ECJ) confirmed that Germany had failed to comply with its obligations under the European regulatory framework for telecommunications (the Common Regulatory Framework (CRF)). The ECJ’s judgment in European Commission v Germany [2009] confirms that Germany acted unlawfully by adopting a national law excluding ‘new markets’ from regulation – so called ‘regulatory holidays’.
