Advantage West Midlands unveils legal panel

Regional development agency Advantage West Midlands has appointed five law firms to its revamped legal panel.

The successful firms are:

• Browne Jacobson
• Eversheds
• Hammonds
• Mills & Reeve
• Walker Morris

Of these, Browne Jacobson and Hammonds were already existing advisers to the regional development agency.

A spokeswoman for Advantage West Midlands said the contracts were worth £4m a year. The appointments will last from March this year until February 2012.

Yorkshire Forward, another RDA, also unveiled its legal panel last month. Walker Morris, Eversheds and Hammonds were also appointed to that panel.
