Leading law firm Blake Morgan has been appointed to Peabody Trust’s legal services framework, strengthening the firm’s already significant housing association work.
The appointment follows Peabody Trust’s merger with Family Mosaic Housing Group in 2017, which saw Peabody become one of London's largest housing associations. With 55,000 homes and 111,000 residents, the new organisation has revised its legal services framework to support the larger operation.
Blake Morgan, which already works with a wide range of national and regional housing associations, including Clarion Group, One Housing, Optivo and Pennaf, has been appointed to three framework lots – asset management and property, development and construction, and major contracts and commercial disputes.
