Nabarro and Freeth Cartwright have landed spots on UK construction group Lafarge Tarmac's first-ever legal panel.
The UK duo won roles after a competitive pitch process, seeing off around 20 other law firms.
The panel is Lafarge Tarmac's first, following its establishment at the start of the year as a joint venture between French construction company Lafarge and mining company Anglo American's UK subsidiary Tarmac.
In 2012 Freeth Cartwright advised Lafarge and Anglo American alongside Eversheds on the £285m sale of UK assets, paving the way for the combination.
Lafarge Tarmac GC and company secretary Deborah Grimason said: "After a rigorous selection process we have chosen two firms who have demonstrated a real understanding of the various legal needs our business faces and the commercial context in which we operate, and who are committed to working together to meet those needs.
"I look forward to drawing on their expertise to support the in-house legal team and provide a cost effective service to Lafarge Tarmac at an exciting time for our business."
Nabarro property partner Niall Logan added: "Over the years we have demonstrated our expertise in practice with Lafarge, but it is rewarding to be given the opportunity to continue building on that relationship with the new entity that is Lafarge Tarmac."
In 2008 Lafarge appointed eight firms to its panel of UK advisers, with Birketts, Clarks Legal, Freeth Cartwright, HBJ Gateley Wareing, Martineau, Nabarro, Roythornes and Tollers winning spots. Meanwhile advisers to Tarmac in the past also include Wragge & Co.
