At Lewis Silkin, we are always looking for good people to join our team - as qualified lawyers, trainees and business services staff.
We'd like to hear from you:
From simple procurement projects through to complex EU procurement issues - we have the expertise to help.
Running a tender exercise can be time consuming and confusing. We help you simplify the process, and achieve best value. Working as part of your team, we deal with the legal aspects and help you to achieve your objectives within the constraints of the legislative framework.
Where you are tendering, we help you understand the process, ask the relevant questions and, where necessary, challenge a flawed process or decision.
Getting the best advice up front can avoid having to abort a defective procurement process, or finding yourself with an ineffective contract, or out of time to bring a challenge all of which increase both risks and costs.
