A Lloyds spokesperson told LegalWeek that the  panel would include eight firms  designated as ‘core’ which were able to offer either alternative resourcing options, technology solutions and/or the ability to offer a wide range of complex legal advice.

Sub-panels

Lloyds last conducted a full panel review in August 2014, with panel appointments historically lasting for two years. The bank has also confirmed it will unveil its UK legal sub-panels later this year, having last completed a review of its 16 sub-panels – including restructuring, insurance, group property and financial services – in December 2014.
