We are delighted that a group of West Midlands local authorities have appointed us to their 1st barristers legal services framework.
Following the competitive tender process, we were pleased to have been successful in each area we put ourselves forward for:
- adult social services
- governance and public law, including education

Work allocated to members of the panel is worth approximately £60 million over 4 years.
