Following a successful retender process, we are pleased to share that we have been reappointed as the provider of Fire Safety Legal Advice and Representation to the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS).
Throughout the four-year agreement, which commenced on 1st October 2025, we will be called upon to provide specialist fire safety legal advice and representation. This will include advising on enforcement of fire safety legislation and representing the Service in proceedings before the criminal courts.
Commenting on the appointment, Justin Davies, Legal Director and Head of Regulatory Investigations and Compliance said:
“I am delighted that both Hugh James and I will continue our long-standing relationship with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. The legal directories recognise our market-leading reputation in the fire safety field and our reputation for prosecution and enforcement work; this successful retender further exemplifies the trust and confidence that our clients place in us as their chosen advisers for regulatory enforcement matters. I look forward to continuing the relationship with the Service that has been built over many years, and to further supporting the Service as it carries out this essential enforcement function.”
This latest appointment under the Welsh Government Solicitors Services Framework further demonstrates our strength and capability in delivering specialist legal services to the public sector in Wales.
