Police
Broad range of legal services for police forces
nationwide based on years of experience in this specialist
sector.
The police service operates within a
high-profile and sensitive sector. As such for police forces and
their authorities, compliance with the law, regulations and
standards of performance are crucially important issues. Lapses can
be costly, not only financially but also in terms of reputation and
impact on public confidence.
Our specialist practitioners act exclusively
for the police service, representing a diverse range of forces
across England and Wales. As the largest dedicated police
legal team in the country our lawyers have been involved in some of
the most high profile and significant cases involving the police
service over the last 10 years.
We act for more police forces and police
authorities than any other firm in private practice and our clients
range from the large metropolitan forces to smaller regional
forces.
Our extensive experience in this sector gives
us a unique insight into your needs and expectations. We understand
the demands and pressures placed upon you, and have in-depth
knowledge of the legal, social and political environment you work
within. In particular, we recognise the need to preserve and
protect the reputation and security of your organisation. This has
enabled us to develop systems, resources and experience to assist
with the challenges faced by police forces and their
authorities.
Our approach is based on forming a committed
relationship with your team members and working closely together to
achieve your goals. The advice we offer is robust, practical and
realistic, and one of our greatest strengths is the ability to
translate legal technicalities into plain English.
Our specialist lawyers are all experts in
their field, therefore the time they spend is kept to a minimum,
enabling us to provide you with the most efficient and
cost-effective service possible.
"The team advises on claims work, judicial reviews,
inquests and operational advice that translates into a general
national offering much admired by rivals. Research reveals that
clients appreciate the human touch from a personal team."
