Baker & McKenzie has scooped a prize place on the BBC’s roster of advisers, being named as legal adviser to the BBC’s new governing body, the BBC Trust.
The appointment, which carries no fixed term, will see Bakers’ City head of competition, Samantha Mobley, and public law partner Tom Cassells provide competition, public law and regulatory advice to the client. The firm will advise the Trust on fair trading policies and will also be consulted initiatives such as the BBC’s proposed free-to-air digital TV satellite platform.
