- Advising on procurement strategy and contract structure for developers, contractors, and public bodies
- Supporting senior lawyers on complex, high-value energy, infrastructure, and real estate projects
- Working closely with the disputes team to understand how front-end advice shapes outcomes when projects hit turbulence
