TEAM (The Employment Agents Movement) has appointed five law firms to service its membership.

Brabners Chaffe Street continue their longstanding relationship with TEAM and have been re-appointed as TEAM principal legal advisers, plus regional advisers for the Midlands, South-West and East England.

The other law firms – DWF, EOS, MAP and Thomas Eggar – are appointed as panel legal advisors for the North-East, North-West and London, TEAM IT, driving and executive divisions, Scotland and Southern England respectively.

Liz Longman, managing director of TEAM says: “Given the expansion of the TEAM network and the ever increasing complexity of UK employment legislation, we felt we needed to extend the choice of legal advisors both in numbers and geographically.

“We are delighted with the level and range of expertise that will be more widely available to our members and their clients which will include free legal helpline, free document review and substantially discounted charges among a raft of other services.”
