A trio of national firms has landed lucrative spots on the legal panel of Advantage West Midlands (AWM) ahead of a raft of top 50 rivals, after the Regional Development Agency (RDA) unveiled its revamped roster of legal advisers.

National giant Hammonds retained its place on the four-strong panel last week and national rival Pinsent Masons was reappointed after being dropped in AWM’s last formal review three years ago.
