The public sector team at Ashfords LLP handles the full range of local government mandates, with considerable expertise assisting local authorities with central government funding grants, together with a niche in local authority ports and harbour authority matters. Exeter-based practice head Lucy Woods is well-placed to advise on public procurement, subsidy control, and state aid mandates. For real estate and infrastructure matters including regeneration and development projects, Robin De Wreede is a key member of the team with experience acting for both public and private sector clients. Also recommended is senior associate Ruth Yates, who has additional experience in procurement and subsidy control matters, especially in relation to regeneration and marine projects.
