DMH Stallard is one of the leading providers of legal services to the public sector in the UK. We work in partnership with local authorities, central government departments, registered providers of social housing, charities, NHS trusts, education establishments and other public sector bodies. Our sector expertise means we fully understand the challenges our clients face, their statutory limitations, powers and duties.
"Croydon Council's Legal Division has enjoyed a close working relationship with the firm for more than 10 years. We have built up methods of working together, and a considerable knowledge of each other's systems, through partnership working. Above all, we have always found them to be particularly responsive to our needs, and a welcoming and friendly firm to work with."
We are acutely aware of the key issues surrounding the drive to reduce expenditure and are considered thought-leaders in this subject. We are leading the debate on key issues such as Shared Services, Total Place and Step-Change Management.
