About Kevin
Three decades inside the machinery of local government
Over thirty years advising councils at every tier, from district and borough to county, unitary and combined authority.
Background
Council-side experience
Years inside local authorities, not just advising them from outside. Advice is shaped by how committees actually run, how monitoring officers think, and how decisions get contested.
Who I work with
District and borough councils, county and unitary authorities, combined authorities, parish and town councils, and other public sector bodies.
Typical instructions
Constitutional drafting and review, standards and conduct matters, governance reviews, reorganisation, and interim monitoring officer cover.
How I work
One solicitor, not a team tier.
You deal with me
No delegation down a hierarchy, no associate drafting on unfamiliar territory.
Council-side
Advice shaped by how committees and monitoring officers really work.
In plain writing
Clear memos and reports members and officers can act on.
