Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) and Morton Fraser are among nine firms to have landed spots on Heathrow Airport Holdings’ legal panel, with the duo appointed to the roster for the first time.

The company, formerly known as BAA, has reappointed existing panel members Allen & Overy, Blake Lapthorn, Brodies, Eversheds, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) and Pinsent Masons, with the latter winning a spot after merging with longstanding adviser McGrigors last year.
