Public Procurement Litigation
We help clients understand and respond to increasingly complicated public procurement legislation and provide cross-border and domestic advice across all key sectors on public procurement and competitive tendering rules, in both contentious and non-contentious contexts.
Why choose our Public Procurement Litigation lawyers?
Our
specialist public procurement lawyers advise clients on procurement of major
projects and contracts in sectors including energy, pharmaceuticals and
healthcare, technology, real estate and construction, aviation, defence, transport and infrastructure.
We
advise government departments, public bodies and utilities, suppliers and
contractors on all stages of the procurement process and help them handle various
issues arising at the interface between public and private.
Procurement litigation becoming more common and penalties
for non-compliance with regulations are highly punitive. Our multi-disciplinary
team helps clients challenge and defend procurement decisions within the short
timelines afforded for such actions, obtain damages or secure orders
overturning decisions where appropriate.
