Hogan Lovells has replaced Norton Rose Fulbright on the Crown Estate's energy, minerals and infrastructure panel, with Bond Dickinson retaining its position on the roster after a competitive tender process.
The review, which was overseen by general counsel Rob Booth, kicked off in September last year. The last panel review concluded in 2013.
Hogan Lovells will handle legal advice for the Crown Estate's renewable energy business, while Bond Dickinson will focus on the minerals and infrastructure business, including its interests in marine aggregates and subsea cables and pipelines.
Client relationship partner and Bond Dickinson chairman Nick Page said: "We are delighted to cement our long relationship with the Crown Estate and to continue to support them with our outstanding expertise in minerals and infrastructure."
Crown Estate client relationship partner and Hogan Lovells chair Nicholas Cheffings said: "To win this mandate, we had to display a compelling combination of real estate, energy and infrastructure expertise. These are core parts of our business and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to strengthen and deepen our relationship by working on this unique portfolio."
Hogan Lovells' appointment to the roster sees it replace Norton Rose Fulbright, which was appointed alongside Bond Dickinson to the slimmed-down panel in 2013.
Legacy Norton Rose had formerly advised the real estate giant on a number of transactions, including a £100bn offshore wind farm project in 2010.
At the start of this year, Berwin Leighton Paisner won a sole adviser mandate for The Crown Estate's new £7bn central London portfolio.
