Kent County Council eyes independent legal function

Comment

I think the argument for sharing legal expertise across the public sector is compelling. However there are significant risks in KCC's proposed legal services structure. This ABS cannot be guaranteed to win KCC's legal work. KCC will need to follow the procurement rules when out-sourcing all its work. Any attempt to work around the procurement rules will be challenged by external law firms. Likewise where KCC legal services wins work it is open to a challenge of State Aid as it is openly competing in against law firms in a recognised market.
