## Summary

This framework, which has been finalised as of 22nd June 2020, consists of two lots: Lot 1 focuses on Public Law advice and Lot 2 on Commercial Law advice.

The services to be delivered cover a wide range of legal specialisms and are primarily targeted at entities operating in the legal services industry across the UK and beyond, including the British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for established and experienced legal firms to expand their service offerings, particularly those with expertise in the specified areas of law as outlined in the framework. Law firms that specialise in Public and Commercial Law, including those with capabilities in corporate governance, dispute resolution, and regulatory processes, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.
