The group is led by the 'outstanding' Patrick Parkin, who acts for healthcare and tech companies in contractual, procurement and regulatory matters. Richard Binns advises bidders, purchasing authorities and service providers on procurement work, while Lucy Pegler focuses on tech, data protection and cybersecurity matters.
