Double win as Midlands law firm appointed to two health panels


9 June 2009

Birmingham law firm Browne Jacobson has confirmed its national reputation in healthcare following double panel wins.

The first is a three year re-appointment to the National Health Service Litigation Authority’s (NHSLA) non-clinical advisers panel which handles all non-clinical claims against the NHS.

Nick Parsons, Head of Insurance and Public Risk at Browne Jacobson, said:

“Browne Jacobson is now one of only six firms in the UK to be on the new NHSLA panel which has been reduced from nine firms. Our re-appointment is a ringing endorsement of our expertise in this field and the calibre of work we have delivered.”

The second panel win is an appointment to the Yorkshire and Humber Commercial Procurement Collaborative comprising 32 NHS Trusts. The firm is one of just six on the prestigious panel and the only Midlands firm with a full service offering to the NHS that has been chosen.

Melanie Print, Commercial Health Partner at Browne Jacobson comments: “As the health sector evolves with new legislation, medical advances and increasing competition, our large dedicated health law team continues to work closely with our clients to meet those challenges. This panel will give us more exposure to NHS trusts in the North and strengthen the firm’s growing national reach.”

Browne Jacobson acts for numerous NHS Trusts and local authorities across the West Midlands and is recognised as having one of the country’s leading healthcare practices by independent legal directory Chambers.
