Neil Morgan’s team at Hugh James enjoyed continued success in 2011, with appointment to the Welsh government, and to the South West and the North Wales frameworks for local authorities. It also has an extensive RSL client list. The practice ranges from housing management to solar energy procurement and funding facilities, and ‘industry knowledge is high in all areas’. David Roberts advises the Welsh government on large-scale voluntary stock transfers.

Morgan Cole – ‘an experienced practice with a proven track record’ – provides a comprehensive service to RSL clients, and delivers advice of a ‘very high quality, whether routine or “blue sky”’. Recommended individuals include Siân Jones (for governance matters); Emyr Lewis (for public service collaboration/structural issues); and Philip Stewart (on the property side).

Eversheds LLP is notable for its expertise on the funding side, for clients such as Barclays and Principality. The team is ‘exceptionally professional and wholly client focused’, and senior associate Fraser MacRae is ‘consistently excellent’.

Geldards LLP covers property/development matters (through Mike Jeffs), and finance (Karl Baranski and Liz Ganderton), and also has expertise in employment and procurement.

At Morgan LaRoche Limited, Jonathan Hughes’ team provides a comprehensive service to the firm’s considerable RSL client base.
