Public Sector

We work closely with public sector organisations including local authorities and housing associations providing consultancy services to their legal teams or senior management.

Combining our knowledge of the legal market and the environment in which public sector clients operate, we have developed and continue to manage some of the most groundbreaking legal initiatives in the sector. Our focus is on assisting our clients to get more for less thereby allowing them to demonstrate their achievement of best value to stakeholders.

Examples of the work we have carried out for public sector clients include:

• Forging procurement alliances between high profile public sector bodies in order to achieve best value from legal suppliers (including solicitors, barristers, knowledge and case management systems, arbitrators and mediators)
  
  
• Setting up and managing legal panels
  
  
• Establishing and managing shared services projects and facilitating inter-body working arrangements.
  
  
• Developing bespoke, needs-based CPD accredited training programmes.
  
  

If you would like further information about how we might assist your organisation, please contact Leo Fattorini in the first instance.

Panel Set Up and Review

“So many great ideas and projects fail to reach their potential even after implementation but with Kennedy Cater Legal driving the process forward the London Boroughs Legal Alliance has quickly become a successful working arrangement, and we are already seeing the cost saving benefits. If you are looking to set up a panel and collaborative legal arrangement I highly recommend getting them involved.”

“Kennedy Cater Legal recently assisted us with our procurement of online knowledge management resources. They cost-effectively managed the project, efficiently co-ordinating a number of collaborating local authorities with differing objectives enabling us all to make the most informed decision as to which of the options to procure. Kennedy Cater were also able to negotiate significantly discounted rates on our behalf. The end result was our procurement of the right system for Hounslow’s legal team at a cost that we would not have been able to achieve without them. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

Richard Gruet, Deputy Borough Solicitor,
London Borough of Hounslow
