- 'As a public sector client, the Council finds DWF Law's Partners and senior legal staff very knowledgeable of our delivery requirements, providing excellent advice that helps us work with private sector developers, as well as securing external funding. Examples include assistance in understanding changes in State Aid rules, public procurement, delivery under the Homes England frameworks and in the application of the NEC suite of contracts.'
- 'I have been working with DWF Local Government Team for over a year now at Royal Borough Of Greenwich. At first when I learned they would be supporting the inhouse team on complex Regeneration projects involving compulsory purchase orders, procurement, housing, highways and planning law I was sceptical as I had never worked with them before. However very quickly I warmed to them as individuals particularly as the have excellent customer care and attention to detail skills. The difference with this firm is that they are attentive and proactive and they listen. If challenged at any point they are respectful and reasonable in their conclusions. They are excellent team workers and value for money. Lastly and most importantly they are masters in their own fields. They can be relied on to provide excellent advice within very tight time constraints and are very approachable and helpful if there is a last minute drama.'
