 Walker Morris has been appointed to provide legal services for four of Yorkshire largest councils in one contract.
The councils of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield, have teamed together as the West Yorkshire Local Authorities to appoint a legal panel that will be called upon as specialists in such areas as employment law, conveyancing, judicial review and governance, regeneration.
David Kilduff, partner and Head of the firm’s Commercial Group: “The drive for public sector bodies to improve efficiency and value for money is encouraging collaboration and new forms of procurement. This framework demonstrates the councils' willingness to work together.”
