The highly regarded JMW Employment team has been appointed to the British Medical Association’s (BMA) legal panel to provide support to its members.

The BMA, founded in 1832, has more than 170,000 members and is the professional body and trade union for doctors. The organisation offers representation and expert guidance to its members and is an important addition to the JMW Employment team’s portfolio of clients.

The JMW Employment team, ranked in the legal directories Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500, is led by Paul Chamberlain, a UK-leading employment law specialist who is described in Chambers as being “very professional and extremely knowledgeable”.

He said: “The BMA has tasked us with providing its members with legal support, including representing them in the Employment Tribunal and County Court where necessary.

“We won our appointment based on a number of key factors, including our reputation as a national firm with excellent employment law and employment litigation experience, our ability to conduct Tribunal cases in all four nations and our being able to offer the BMA a team of accomplished employment law partners and solicitors operating at a senior level.

“Being appointed to the BMA panel after an extremely competitive tender process is testament to the talent, expertise and hard work of our team.”
