Career

Tim’s legal practice builds on his experience of holding Board level and other senior leadership roles in Whitehall, the NHS and the professional services sectors. He was Head of Commercial law at the Treasury Solicitor’s Department; Deputy Legal Adviser at GCHQ and has held a Non-Executive Directorship in the NHS.

Tim helps clients simplify the complex legal, policy and commercial issues that arise in transactions and partnerships especially those between the public and private sectors. He has been closely involved in initiating, designing, implementing and managing numerous transformational, pan-government  infrastructure programmes (ICT, Services and Construction), many of them creating innovative, long-term strategic partnerships between sectors.

He advises on all public law and regulatory aspects of public contracts including subsidy controls; public procurement; anti-bribery; FOIA; NHS legislation; and data protection law. He also offers companies who are bidding for public contracts, and incumbent suppliers, a deep understanding not just of the law but of the structure, policies, culture and working processes of HM Government and of the NHS.
