Delivering ‘expert advice with professionalism’ is a key tenet of Bevan Brittan LLP’s local government practice, which works closely with local authorities on complex governance and reorganisation matters, PFI and PPP projects, and disputes. Advising on local government health and safety cases is another strength of the practice, along with acting on children’s services cases. Ash Woodcock leads the practice which stands out for its ‘expertise and availability ’, with Judith Hopper also playing a key role in the team. David Kitson has expertise in public and governance work, while James Teagle is skilled at handling land-based disputes. Jessica Boardman is ‘knowledgeable and practical’.
