Commercialisation and wholly-owned companies

Our passion to help and advise public bodies in the ever- changing business climate is unwavering. We draw on many years’ experience of working in this sector to ensure the day-to-day smooth-running of public services.

We embrace change and address ways of moving forward in the fast-paced world of public services by offering advice on implementing new commercial skills such as different service delivery arrangements including shared services, spin out mutuals, Teckal companies and commercially focussed vehicles.

Our experience includes working in partnership with some of the most innovative local authorities and other public bodies in England and Wales. We pride ourselves on being able to bring in a multitude of specialists into situations where there is not simply one solution.

As well as ensuring that all the legal and commercial documents are drafted to meet your needs, we’re able to provide invaluable training in areas such as relationships between public bodies, directors duties and contract management.
