    Brief

    West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is seeking to establish a retainer arrangement with external legal counsel to provide specialized support for housing development initiatives. The retained legal firm will advise on negotiating and finalizing Housing Development Grant Agreements, offer subsidy control guidance related to these agreements, assist WMCA's property legal team on smaller grant matters where appropriate, and provide general legal advice and document drafting as requested throughout the contract term. This is an on-demand arrangement allowing WMCA to instruct counsel as needed. Ideal candidates should have expertise in housing grants, development agreements, subsidy control regulations, and property law.
