Changes to submissions for Inquests, Public Inquiries, Public Procurement and Employment
There are several changes to the way in which we are asking for submissions for Public Procurement, Employment, Public Inquiries and Inquests this year.
Inquests and Public Inquiries
In response to the continued growth of the public inquiries and inquest market, driven by high-profile cases such as the COVID-19, Post Office and Grenfell Tower inquiries, Chambers will now accept individual submissions for Public Inquiries and Inquests. This change will allow firms to submit to each category, highlighting up to 20 matters and providing up to 20 referees per section.
Public Procurement
Expanding our Public Procurement coverage, firms can now submit to a dedicated Public Procurement: Scotland ranking. This addition complements our existing geographic tables, which include a UK-wide and Northern Ireland Public Procurement ranking. Firms based in Scotland are encouraged to submit to the newly established Scotland section rather than the UK-wide rankings.
Employment
Firms are now asked to submit to one or both of Yorkshire (South and West) and Yorkshire (North and East), replacing the previous Employment: Yorkshire submission. This change allows firms to better tailor their submissions based on their regional focus.
