Public Procurement Senior Associate | Leading International Firm
This is one of the UK's preeminent public procurement practices, and it sits within a global firm that holds top tier rankings across all their practice areas. The team advises on nationally and internationally significant projects across government, transport, utilities, defence, healthcare, and regeneration.
The practice
The procurement team is unusual in combining advisory and disputes capability under one roof. That means you will work side-by-side with specialist procurement litigators, providing technical input on claims and defences, assessing litigation risk, and helping clients navigate the moments when a procurement process becomes contentious. You will see the full picture, not just one half of it.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
