A Tier 1 international firm is expanding its Manchester public procurement team and is hiring at 1 and 5 PQE.
The practice sits in Chambers' top band and ranks among the strongest procurement teams in the country - which is why it lands on the mandates that matter most.
The advisory work runs across projects of national and international significance: government contracts, transport spanning rail, bus, ports and aviation, utilities covering water, electricity, gas and heat, plus defence, healthcare and regeneration. That gives you real sector range rather than a narrow diet of work.
Because your procurement input feeds multi-disciplinary matters run by the IT, outsourcing, transport, utilities, construction, real estate and defence teams, there's scope to carve out a specialism of your own early on.
You'll also work alongside dedicated procurement disputes lawyers, contributing technical and strategic thinking to contentious matters - from settlements reached quietly to cases that reach court - and seeing how the advice holds up once it's tested.
For anyone after serious procurement work with the breadth to make a name in it, this one is worth a look.
