Wragge & Co has been appointed as the sole full service legal adviser to electrical group Harvard International.

Wragges won the appointment for the AIM-listed company, which owns brands including Goodmans and Grundig, over the summer following a competitive pitch process. The firm will now advise the consumer electronic products company on areas including corporate, commercial and intellectual property (IP) matters.

Wragges managing partner Ian Metcalfe led a cross-firm team on the pitch, alongside corporate partners Dominic Roberts and Julian Henwood and IP partner Michael Luckman.

Harvard International, which has an annual turnover of £77m, is one of the UK's leading suppliers of set-top boxes to the retail consumer market and also offers a range of iPhone, iPod and iPad accessories under the iLuv brand.

Metcalfe (pictured) said: "Our instant rapport with the client was key to this appointment. [Harvard International's] focus is on specialist electrical products such as TV set-top boxes so the digital switchover presents significant opportunities."

The appointment is the latest in a line of panel wins for the top 30 law firm which earlier this year became one of three firms appointed on to Premier Foods' first formal roster of external legal advisers alongside Slaughter and May and Eversheds. Premier Foods is the UK's largest food producer and owns leading brands such as Hovis, Mr Kipling, Branston and Bisto.

The firm has also won spots on water and sewage regulator Ofwat's first external legal panel and the panel of a consortium of London and Kent local authorities.
