THE TEAM
The Commercial department has a varied mix of work across both the public sector and private clients, predominately in sectors including health, local government, emergency services, and social housing. We advise on projects from “cradle to “grave”. We design and structure projects. We advise on operational issues. We advise on termination and expiry issues. We also advise on the full range of disputes that can arise out of procurements including procurement disputes, design and construction disputes, operational disputes particularly in relation to payment disputes and fire safety disputes, and termination disputes.
THE ROLE
The Corporate and Commercial Litigation Division is looking for a Senior/Principal Associate with 3 or more years' PQE who will be involved in and/or lead commercial disputes, with a particular focus on public procurement and complex contractual disputes. The successful candidate will be expected to have experience of dealing with both of these types of disputes.
The role involves mainly advising public sector clients in sectors including healthcare, local government, emergency services, and social housing. The successful candidate will have an understanding of the public sector and experience of working on matters involving public sector organisations.
