    Brief

    Merseytravel and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) are seeking a law firm or alternative business structure practice to serve as their main external legal adviser for rail-related matters. The successful firm will provide legal guidance to multiple departments within LCRCA and Merseytravel, including Directors, the Place Directorate (covering Transport, Transport Infrastructure Programmes, and Customer Delivery), the Legal Team, and the Finance Team. Key responsibilities will focus on four main areas: advising on existing rail operations, managing transition arrangements, supporting future operations planning, and providing legal support for future operations under public control. The initial contract term is three years, with two optional 12-month extension periods available. This is an ideal opportunity for law firms with expertise in transport, infrastructure, and public sector governance.
