THE region's largest law firm has won more PFI work.

Dickinson Dees, based in Newcastle and Teesside, won contracts to advise Salford Royal Hospitals NHS Trust and the Tameside and Glossop Acute Services NHS Trust on PFI redevelopments.

Tim Care, head of the projects group at Dickinson Dees, is leading the PFI deal, assisted by Iain Greenshields, Chloe McSwaine and Ruth Corrigan.

Mr Care said: "This is a big and exciting win for us and shows how we can compete for this work in the very competitive Manchester market place and nationally."

Last year, Dickinson Dees advised the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust on a £300m PFI deal to redevelop the Freeman Hospital and RVI.

The firm has also advised Trusts in Blackburn, Belfast, Leeds, Wakefield, Carlisle and Selby.
