Police/Emergency services

BLM has a dedicated national team looking after police forces and the emergency services. We can draw on the expertise of specialist lawyers from across the firm’s offices to cover public liability, employers’ liability, road traffic, defamation, public enquiries and officials’ indemnity. We handle employment claims for officers and civilian employees. We also cover non-claims matters such as discipline, proceeds of crime, police property and general advice.

We have acted for the emergency services for over 30 years with a particular specialisation in police work. Our clients include the Metropolitan, Merseyside, City of London, North Wales, Kent, Thames Valley, Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire police forces. We also represent Greater Manchester Fire Service.

 

What the legal directories say:

The firm has an impressive client base of police authorities and their insurers. The team is still busy defending a client against an allegation of misfeasance and assault at the G20 protest. It is also acting in a number of defamation and breach of confidence claims and is providing defamation advice to Suffolk Constabulary.
