I am a commercial solicitor specialising in public contracts. I have advised and supported public sector and private sector clients on negotiating and closing commercial deals for the procurement of public services, works and goods for over 15 years.
I have worked extensively in in-house local government departments, for local government legal departments, central government departments and arm’s length non-departmental government agencies.
I have successfully negotiated contracts that have provided my clients with significant costs savings or increased the profitability of their commercial entities.
I have a working knowledge of the Government Standard Contracts for Procurement issued by the Cabinet Office and Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) contract templates.
I am adept at bringing practical solutions to legal problems, in the context of the administrative risks and financial challenges that public bodies face.
I have assisted my clients with establishing clear and concise governance arrangements for contract mobilisation, contract management, exit and transfer arrangements.
I also hold a post graduate Local Government Diploma in Legal Practice administrated by the Law Society.
