London 2012 Chair Sebastian Coe said: 'The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are the world’s largest peacetime events and it is vital that they are built on secure foundations – working with the best legal minds will ensure this happens. Freshfields know the project inside out – they supported us during the bid and they will be a vital part of the team as we head towards 2012.'
