My Background
I was originally a management consultant with Andersen
Consulting (now Accenture), specialising in Insurance and
Financial Markets. I retrained and qualified as a solicitor
with Veale Wasbrough in 1997. Joined Bevan Ashford in 1999,
partner since May 2004. Partner, Bevan Brittan LLP since
November 2004.
What I do
I advise both private and public sector clients on key
commercial issues and contracts. Typically this will involve
drafting and negotiating contract documents, advising on
risk issues and finding mutually acceptable solutions to
legal and commercial problems. I specialise in long-term
commercial agreements, outsourcing and high-value
procurement contracts. I also have particular expertise in
the 'high tech' sector and have advised on a large number of
IT and telecommunications deals.
Some examples
I advised Partnerships for Schools in connection with the IT
and infrastructure requirements of the Building Schools for
the Future (BSF) programme and continue to advise a number
of local authorities on the IT aspects of their BSF
Projects.
I have advised our life insurance clients on a range of
outsourcing projects, including print management,
recruitment services, data management and related IT
services.
I have advised a large number of NHS Trusts on strategic IT
procurement projects, including contracts for
telecommunications services, network management, electronic
patient record systems, vehicle location systems (for
ambulances) and picture archiving systems.
I advised a major UK-based manufacturer on a series of
technology transfer agreements establishing strategic
partnerships in Asia and Africa. I continue to advise
manufacturing clients on strategies for the protection and
exploitation of intellectual property and know-how.
I advised a 3G telecommunications services company on the
establishment of its business, its customer and content
contracts and the international franchising of its
product/services.
I advised the Pension Protection Fund on the procurement of
pensions administration and compensation payment services. I
have also advised a number of other Government agencies on
matters such as facilities management requirements,
intellectual property licensing and the provision of IT
infrastructure services.
I advised a London NHS Trust in relation to a 15-year
programme for the acquisition, maintenance and replacement
of high-value radio-diagnostic equipment.
I advised the Ministry of Defence in the procurement (under
PFI) of fire-fighting training services valued at £85
million.
