Local Government

About

Provided by Brodies LLP

Brodies' local government practice is unmatched in terms of its experience and expertise. We have more than 80 lawyers working in the sector, and advise major city councils as well as clients who operate across Scotland; from Shetland to the Borders. We also act in UK matters, including heat and power projects and cross border litigation.

We field multi-disciplinary teams for major local authority projects, and expertise within our firm includes niche areas: governance, election law, judicial review and statutory appeals, private legislation, local government finance, investigations and ALEOS, including for district heating schemes and sport and leisure.

Clients trust us with instructions of a sensitive nature; from internal investigations arising from whistleblowing, to providing advice directly to council and committee meetings.
