Chanel is an integral part of the projects team, specialising in public procurement law and confidently handling all aspects of the procurement lifecycle. Working closely with our key sectors, Chanel’s work has seen her support clients across central and local government and the housing sector.
Handling both contentious and non-contentious matters, Chanel supports and advises clients at all stages of the procurement lifecycle, from advising on early-stage procurement strategy and design to providing solutions on specific procurement challenges including risk mapping and legal modifications to contracts.
An expert in guiding clients through the latest reforms to the Procurement Act 2023, she has helped ensure policy documents are updated, as well as standing orders, contract procedure rules and standard terms and conditions comply with the new changes.
