Thirteen law firms have won places on the first-ever panel created by four of Yorkshire’s largest county councils.

Firms including Addleshaw Goddard, Beachcroft, Walker Morris, Browne Jacobson, Weightmans and Bevan Brittan were appointed to the West Yorkshire Local Authorities (WKLA) legal panel at the end of last month. The firms have been hired for an initial three-year period with the option for a renewable two-year extension.
