We are delighted to have been re-appointed to the London Boroughs’ Legal Alliance (LBLA) barristers legal services framework. Work allocated to members of the LBLA’s barristers legal services panel is worth approximately £60 million over 4 years.
Following a competitive tender process, we were pleased to have been successful in each area we put ourselves forward for:
- adult social services,
- children’s services
- governance and public law
- housing
- property
- civil litigation and
- employment.
