Hill Dickinson has provided advice and support to many clients changing to foundation trust status. We help them to understand the changes ahead and guide and support them through the application and transition process.
We provide an ad hoc telephone service for queries from foundation trusts and their corporate secretaries. However, we are happy to assist with more complex and lengthy matters involving, for example, the development of a constitution.
The issues we help clients with include:
- Transition to foundation trust status
- FT legal framework
- Application process
- Constitution
- Advice on governance arrangements and structures
- The role of Monitor
- Financial powers
- Employment law issues
- On attainment of foundation trust status
- Compliance with constitutions and terms of authorisation
- Governance arrangements
- Financial powers
- Commercial contracts and litigation
- Procurement
- Intellectual property
- Contracts with commissioners

Hill Dickinson LLP has a large NHS client base with over 80
clients in the North West region and elsewhere. The team has also
been appointed to all ten lots on the North West NHS Collaborative
Procurement Hub. Practice head Allan Mowat is ‘experienced, wise,
sensible and pragmatic’.
This
firm's practice has a national range, but it is especially
identified as a player in the North West and West Midlands. It is
one of only two firms to have been appointed to all ten lots of the
North West NHS Commercial Agency, which is testament to both great
breadth of expertise and deep capacity. The team was recently
sought out by NHS West Midlands to advise on the Mid Staffordshire
inquiry.
