Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom TLT Full time

We are recruiting for a
Senior Associate with specialist experience in advising the public sector to join our public procurement (PP) team, which forms part of our Government and Trade (GAT) Practice.


All of our PP team members have strong experience in advising on both public procurement and commercial contract matters therefore we are relaxed in terms of where your current specialism lies.

The role would be ideally suited to a qualified Solicitor 4-8 years' PQE with experience in advising on both public procurement and commercial contracts matters on behalf of the public sector.

However if you have a desire to develop your skills in one area over the other, then we would also encourage you to apply.

Our intention is to
expose you to high profile public sector work which allows you the flexibility to develop your skills across both commercial contracts and public procurement with a view to allowing you the choice in terms of where you ultimately land in terms of your chosen specialist area.

You will be based out of our Birmingham office, however the team work on a flexible, hybrid basis.


The firm's GAT Practice is made up of three distinct but complementary teams - the Public Procurement Team, the Public Contracts Team, and the International Trade Team.

The GAT Practice is part of the firm's Commercial Services Group, which is led by partner, Bill Hull.

The GAT Practice has 6 partners and 13 specialist lawyers operating out of multiple TLT offices across the UK, including Bristol, London, Manchester and Glasgow.

Key public sector clients within the GAT practice include:

  • Cabinet Office
  • Home Office
  • Government Legal Department
  • Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
  • Ministry of Justice
  • UK Health Security Agency
  • Department for International Trade
  • Mayor's Office for Police Commissioners
  • National Crime Agency
  • London Borough Legal Alliance


We also act for a number of private sector entities engaged in Government projects, including multinationals such as Babcock International and Vodafone.

Our
open and collaborative culture makes life at TLT enjoyable and rewarding. We are genuinely supportive of each other; you can approach anyone for a conversation. And you'll be recognised for your individual work as well as your contribution to the team.

We will invest in you. We want you to be successful. Learning and development is paramount at TLT. Your progress helps us meet the changing needs of our clients, build collaborative relationships that endure and set our firm apart as business advisers as well as lawyers. That's why we invest heavily in developing our people through training programmes and actively promote career progression.

Your Role:


TLT is appointed to several public sector frameworks (including the CCS Legal Services Panel and Public Sector Legal Services Panel) so, you will be working on high profile projects of national importance.

This role will therefore provide exposure to some of the highest profile and most significant Government projects in the UK and internationally and will afford you the opportunity to further enhance your expertise in a broad range of procurement work across the public sector.

You will be working with and supporting clients such as:

  • Central government departments
  • Nondepartment public bodies
  • Local authorities
  • Housing associations (Registered Providers)
  • Private and third sector organisations providing services into the public sector
Your role will involve all aspects of procurement advice, including:

  • Advising on procurement strategy
  • Drafting procurement documentation (including the corresponding contractual documentation depending on your experience/desire to become involved in this aspect of the project)
  • Complex procurement advisory work
  • Procurement litigation experience in relation to informal and formal procurement challenges
This is an exciting time to join our busy team and help clients navigate the forthcoming new procurement regime.

As a Senior Associate in our Public Procurement team, you will:

  • Operate as a senior lawyer within the team and will report directly into a Legal Director
  • Support Legal Directors and Partners on large projects, as well as taking the lead on projects in a variety of public sector procurements, where appropriate

This will include:

  • Advise upon procurement strategy from project inception through to delivery and conclusion of a procurement process
  • Lead on the drafting of the full suite of tender documentation
  • Facilitate and advise upon procurement compliance throughout the process
  • Provide oversight of evaluation and tenderer debriefing
  • Input into the contracting strategy and draft the corresponding contractual documentation (depending on your experience/interest in drafting the corresponding contractual documentation)
  • Support the GAT leadership team with practice and business development activities, including the preparation of ten
