## Summary

Kirklees Council has awarded a contract for the provision of legal advice services for the Dewsbury Riverside project, focusing on areas such as Administrative and Corporate Governance, Contract Commercial Procurement, Conveyancing/Property, Housing, and Planning/Highways/Environmental law.
