HARROGATE law firm McCormicks is one of the first UK firms to be appointed to the new Very High Cost Cases Panel.
The VHCC panel of the Specialist Fraud Panel was launched in January to cover cases expected to last more than three months and/or where costs are likely to be high. by the Legal Services Commission.
McCormicks has joined an exclusive group of firms authorised by the Legal Services Commission to conduct the most substantial and complex fraud and other major criminal cases with public funding.
This is a third coup for McCormicks which was one of the first firms nationally to receive a Legal Aid Franchise and then to be appointed to the Serious Fraud Panel, which later became the Specialist Fraud Panel.
McCormicks partner Geoff Rogers is renowned for his skill in these types of case and has been recognised by a leading independent guide to the legal profession, Chambers UK, as the leading criminal lawyer in the North East of England.
