Top 40 law firm Trowers & Hamlins has been appointed to the EM LawShare Framework - a consortium of public bodies, whose primary purpose is to procure legal services from specialist firms operating in the sector.
Trowers & Hamlins is one of just ten firms to have been appointed to the £70m EM LawShare Framework Agreement, which will run for four years from 1 April 2022.
