The South London Legal Partnership (SLLP) is seeking to enter a number of non-exclusive relationships with external legal advisers.

The SLLP – which provides services to Merton, Richmond, Kingston, Sutton and Wandsworth Councils – said: “It is intended that the successful firms appointed will be the firms of choice for the Property and Commercial Team and the three Litigation, Housing and Planning teams.

“Given the potential value of major projects work, any requirement for external legal advice on these shall be addressed outside of the scope of these appointments.

The contracts will start on 1 April 2018 and run until 31 March 2019.
