Overview
Transport for London (TfL) as the Contracting Authority has put in place a Framework Agreement for Legal Services with 18 law firms across 8 lots. The firms have the requisite resources, expertise and experience to advise Transport for London, the Greater London Authority and its other functional bodies (the 'GLA Group').
Legal support on contentious and non-contentious employment matters including tribunal cases (from the point of outsourcing to conclusion of the case), EAT appeals and specialist advice on industrial relations matters (including strategy, disputes and change programmes) and immigration.

Legal support on contentious and non-contentious aspects of significant infrastructure projects and other large scale and/or complex contracts. Legal support on matters specific to the rail industry including industry specific agreements and regulatory issues covering commercial and real estate matters whether contentious or non-contentious.
