There are now 17 law firms on the framework – five more than on the current list of legal advisers.

The firms appointed to the framework are:

Addleshaw Goddard

Bevan Brittan

Burges Salmon

Dickinson Dees

DLA Piper UK

Eversheds

Firms on the LASF will offer comprehensive legal support from the pre-procurement through to operational Local Education Partnership phase of BSF programmes.

The Legal Advisory Service Framework is one of four frameworks which support delivery of BSF, the others being education and children’s services, financial and technical.
