Local Government and Regional Development
The impact and influence of local government and the regional development agencies on our communities should not be underestimated.
We understand that you’re working hard to improve local services, empower local people and communities, and to deliver improved economic prosperity.
Our team
At Muckle LLP, our Public Sector Group have the skills and experience to provide a pro-active legal service, tailored to the needs of local government and regional development organisations.
Our enthusiastic multi-disciplinary team regularly advises clients operating in these fields on a diverse range of legal issues, and have the expertise and ability to add real value to your requirements.
Here’s how we can help
The quality of service that we provide to clients is paramount, with service excellence being at the heart of our firm.
We regularly advise on:
- EU procurement processes and tendering procedures
- Outsourcing arrangements and complex partnering projects
- Commercial contracts with suppliers and partners
- Funding and finance issues
- Property disposal and acquisition
- Planning agreements and appeals
- Compulsory purchase
- Employee relations and tribunal assistance
- Construction contracts and appointment of professional consultants
As central government moves forward with development of the sub-national review, and regional development agencies take on a wider strategic role within our communities, the links with local government through leaders’ forums will also require careful implementation.
In understanding the issues, we are in a position to assist, and as part of our wider community role, regularly exchange views and take part in discussions that help shape future strategy.
Clients and experience
Our clients include One NorthEast, Gateshead Council, Sunderland arc and Northumberland County Council.
We provide a range of legal services to clients across all legal disciplines.
