Nick is a Partner in our Government and Infrastructure team and has been recognised in directories as a key lawyer within our Government practice. He has considerable experience advising public and private sector clients on a wide range of local government projects (including major procurements, infrastructure and joint ventures), with a particular focus on complex regeneration and development.
Nick assumes leading roles on major projects, working closely with other advisers, providing strategic advice and co-ordinating our inputs from a variety of legal specialisms. He has spent time on secondment in-house at both local authorities and key suppliers to government so understands (and prioritises) building strong and effective working relationships with key stakeholders to aid successful project delivery.
Recent projects have included developer partner procurements, joint ventures between public bodies and private sector developers to deliver regeneration, housing and public benefit, as well as advising on the delivery of a garden town.
Nick’s local government experience has also included outsourcing, commercialisation and advice on the structuring/operation of wholly-owned local authority housing/development vehicles.
