LBLA sees membership grow to 20 local authorities

The London Boroughs Legal Alliance has grown to 20 authorities after Redbridge and Greenwich Councils became full members.

Redbridge is a new member of the LBLA, while Greenwich has become a full member after first taking associate status in October 2016. Associate status gave the authority access to the association’s barristers framework.

Fiona Alderman, Head of Legal & Constitutional Services at Redbridge, said: “Having experienced membership of the LBLA in my previous role at Brent, I understood the value that it can bring.

“I was keen for Redbridge to join in order to take advantage of all the fantastic advantages the LBLA offers. Not only access to the excellent value for money frameworks, but also its first rate training programme, and additional benefits that have a real impact.” 

Helen Edwards, Client Services Director for Kennedy Cater, said: “Time and again the LBLA proves that it is a force to be reckoned with in its approach to local government authorities tackling the twin requirements of innovation in procurement practice and driving down the of costs in legal expenditure.

“The ever growing membership and strong management of the frameworks will continue to make the LBLA an asset to residents across London.’

All London local authorities are able to join the LBLA, or simply access its Solicitors and/or Barristers Frameworks. Contact Helen Edwards for further details on 020 7113 4020 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
