New Consortium Development Provider for NWLC

 The Consortium Management Board are delighted to announce that Fiona Pritchard has joined the Consortium as the new Consortium Development provider.

 Fiona joins us from private practice firm, Freeths, where she worked for many years. Fiona brings a wealth of expertise and insight that we are sure will greatly benefit the Consortium and its members.

 Beryl Heath who has been the Consortium Development Manager is in the process of handing over the reigns to Fiona. Fiona will have no involvement in the current reprocurement process for the new solicitors framework and Beryl will continue to provide support to the Board with this process. Once the reprocurement process is complete Beryl will retire.

Fiona can be contacted at info@nwlegalconsortium.com

Welcome to the NWLC

The NWLC is a Consortium made up of public authorities that wish to collaborate in the procurement and provision of quality legal services to their authorities. They wish to maximise efficiencies and increase the effectiveness of the external legal support they require to supplement their in-house provision.

To this end, following a rigorous procurement exercise, through its lead authority Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, the NWLC has, entered into Framework Agreements with external solicitors firms for the provision of legal advice and support and with Barristers Chambers for the provision of advocacy and advice.

Building upon this successful collaboration, the Consortium authorities intend to increase inter-authority working and co-operation in the interests of increased efficiency and effectiveness.
