Long history

Brennan said: “Given our extensive experience and long history advising this sector, we have developed a deep understanding of the environment in which public sector organisations operate, their key challenges and requirements.

“We also understand how those working within this sector operate under a high level of public scrutiny, within a highly regulated and pressurised environment, and the need for transparency is key.”
