Kingsley Napley and Simmons & Simmons have won first-time roles on the Solicitors Regulation Authority's (SRA) expanded litigation and legal panel, following a competitive tender process.

Bevan Brittan, Capsticks, Devonshires and Russell-Cooke have all been reappointed to the roster, which was last reviewed when the litigation panel was first set up in 2010.

Field Fisher Waterhouse, which sat on the previous legal panel, has not been appointed to the new line up. The firm declined to comment.
