Alison Richards

Alison is a Birmingham based partner. She has extensive experience of large-scale, complex Government and the wider public sector transactions, and regularly advises clients on the preparatory stages of such transactions including participating in options assessments, strategic procurement and the formation of different provider organisational forms and transaction structuring. As a public sector projects lawyer, Alison is well experienced with working within a political landscape which responds to national and local policy. She is also very aware of the impact public projects have on public confidence and therefore the need for the public sector to be seen to be getting things right first time.

Alison has advised in relation to developing and procuring contracts which are relevant to the needs of the organisation and adhere to procurement regulations, the organisations' financial standing orders and meet governance requirements. She has extensive experience of large scale, complex public sector transactions and service reconfigurations including business transfer arrangements.
