Provided by Brodies LLP
Brodies brings commerciality to procurement law advice and provides a seamless service across the full spectrum of strategic, transactional and contentious procurement law.
We are one of a handful of Scottish firms with an accredited procurement specialist partner, and we are able to provide procurement advice work in the context of a non-standard procurement, i.e. planning agreements, affordable housing requirements and development leases.
We de-mystify for clients what can be a complex area and act in both non-contentious and contentious matters – often involving complex and novel areas of procurement law.
