LSB announces external legal adviser panel at conclusion of appointment process
20 December 2012
The LSB today announces appointments to its panel of external legal advisers.
In response to its invitation this Autumn, the LSB received 24 responses from individuals, law firms and barristers’ chambers. All were considered in the light of the published criteria.
We are pleased that during this process, we have been able to attract a number of high calibre applicants with demonstrable experience in the public and regulatory sectors. We believe the appointees to the Panel will be able to assist the LSB in delivering its work programme by offering high quality services representing value for money.
The results of this process are that from 1 January 2013, the LSB’s panel of external legal advisers will be:
Bates Wells & Braithwaite
Bircham Dyson Bell
Eversheds
Field Fisher Waterhouse
Herbert Smith Freehills
Hogan Lovells
1 Crown Office Row - specifically, Philip Havers QC, Robert Kellar, Alasdair Henderson and Karwan Eskerie
