State Aid

State Aid

The leading public sector practice acting for over 200 contracting authorities across the UK

We advise public and private sector clients on transactions which involve State Aid issues, including recent developments brought about by the introduction of the State Aid Action Plan.

We offer practical advice on project structuring which helps them to manage State Aid issues through a number of mechanisms including, where relevant, the use of block exemptions.

We also help prepare notifications for European Commission clearance under the State Aid rules and advise recipients of funding on potential State Aid issues and audit requirements.

Our well established links with the Commission and DTI allow us to provide focussed and up to date access to current policies.
