Major public sector panel appointment for Exchange Chambers
Following a competitive tender process, Exchange Chambers has been appointed to The North West Consortium's legal panel.
The North West Consortium currently includes 22 metropolitan, unitary, borough and district councils as well as a police authority and a passenger transport authority and may potentially include other public authorities within the North West.
Exchange Chambers tendered for 13 specialist areas within the panel framework and all applications were successful. The set will now be able to provide legal advice to the Consortium, covering the areas of Administrative, Childcare, Civil Litigation, Criminal Litigation, Education, Employment, Housing, Licensing, Mental Health, Planning & Environment, Police, Property and Trusts & Charities.
The contract starts on 1 April 2010 for a period of four years with the option to extend for a further two years.
Commenting on the appointment, Tom Handley, Director of Chambers said:
"We are delighted to join a panel that will provide quality legal services to the Consortium.
"Chambers now acts for over thirty local authorities and we are committed to offering a centre of excellence for our public sector clients."
In the recently published 2010 edition of Chambers UK, Exchange Chambers retained its ranking as a leading set for Local Government practice with many of its barristers ranked as leaders in their areas of expertise.The set's flagship Local Authority Seminar is also established as the leading event of its type, last year attracting over 200 delegates.
