Over the years Dundas & Wilson has built up vast experience operating in this sector. 

Governance and public administration covers constitutional issues including devolution, freedom of information and the European Convention of Human Rights. We advise on the powers of public bodies and their competence to act. And we cover issues of importance to the public sector including the principles of Best Value and shared services.

We provide a range of services to numerous public sector bodies including government departments and local authorities.  We also advise a number of universities. We have a unique partnering agreement with Stirling Council supporting and working closely with its in-house legal department.  We have been appointed to advise Shetland Islands Council on the governance arrangements of Community funds from oil revenues

Our services in this area are not confined to the public sector but also to those in the private sector who deal public bodies where our strong public sector experience brings added value.
