Abstract

KCC (Kent County Council) Legal Services has thrown off the traditional mantle of public sector lawyers. Whilst remaining faithful to the needs of our core corporate client, we have undergone one of the most dynamic and significant transformations within local authority legal circles by engineering major changes to the way we do business. We now operate as an in-house private practice, combining the efficiencies and dynamism of the private sector with the service ethos of the public sector, focused solely on outputs and outcomes that benefit the communities we serve.
