If you are a customer, whether in the public or private sector, the economic situation may mean that efficient sourcing is critical to the success of your organization. If you are a supplier, you may feel that you are being squeezed from all directions, as costs increase but customers’ income reduces.

In either case, when procuring goods and services, you need a legal adviser who understands what works and what does not work; who understands the political pressures you are under; who can help you get the best out of your strategic sourcing and partnering arrangements.

When you engage Dentons, you gain a team with an established record in the procurement field. We have decades of experience advising on successful procurement projects in numerous industry sectors, from government to financial services. We can provide efficient, effective counsel on procurement approaches that may assist you and on procurement best practice.

We can advise you on all legal and commercial aspects of procurement, including contracts, employment/labor, pensions, data privacy, real estate, corporate, taxation, finance, insolvency, health and safety, public sector and financial regulatory issues. We also advise on essential due diligence you must carry out, on risks that you are taking and how best to deal with these risks.
