Addleshaw Goddard and Ashurst have secured first-time roles on BPs expanded legal panel following a reverse auction for spots on the oil giant’s UK roster.

The two new additions will join Linklaters, Freshfields, Herbert Smith Freehills, Norton Rose Fulbright, CMS Cameron McKenna, Pinsent Masons and Olswang, who all retain the places they have held since the panel was last reviewed in 2011.
