They will launch the UK’s first focused service provider directory for litigation lawyers. Revenue from the directory will be used to fund the National Pro Bono Centre and the work of frontline advice agencies.
Ben Mathews, Group Company Secretary at BP and Chair of the GC100, said the directory ‘provides a one-stop source of valuable information about service providers in the litigation, arbitration and disputes resolution arena’.
More than 100 commercial litigation law firms, the Commercial Bar Association, the GC100 and Commercial Court Judges are taking part in the initiative. The directory launch will take place on 26 March at the Royal Courts of Justice, at a reception to mark the 125-year anniversary of the Commercial Court.
Commercial Litigation Forum (CLF) chair and partner at Arnold & Porter, Hilton Mervis said: ‘The launch of the 2020 CLF Directory of Service Providers is a game changer.’
