In its first review since 2012, outsourcing giant Serco has named Clifford Chance as its go-to corporate firm while Clyde & Co, Pinsent Masons, Bird & Bird, Addleshaw Goddard and DWF have all won spots across the company's other legal practice areas.

However, thee former spot-holders—Ashurst, Linklaters and RPC—have missed out on appointments. According to a statement from the company, Serco's new panel 'meets the changing needs of the business and ensures best value for money... in line with industry best practice and out commitment to constant improvement.' The panel review was overseen by Serco group general counsel David Eveleigh who joined the firm in 2014 in a newly expanded role.
