• Supporting procurement-related challenges and litigation
• Playing an active role in business development, client training, and internal knowledge sharing

What They're Looking For

• A qualified solicitor (likely 2-4 PQE, although all levels with relevant experience will be considered)
• Demonstrable recent experience advising on the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and familiarity with the Procurement Act 2023
• A solid understanding of commercial contracts in a procurement context
• Strong analytical, drafting, and communication skills
• A proactive, collaborative approach and enthusiasm for client engagement

Why Join?

• Join a firm consistently recognised for its innovative and forward-thinking culture
• Excellent training, development, and career progression pathways
• Flexible, hybrid working policy and a strong focus on work/life balance
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package

This is a brilliant opportunity for a public procurement specialist to join a thriving, top-tier team at a firm that values its people and invests in long-term development.
