With a large pool of resources at its disposal, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP is effectively able to resource a wide variety of Wales and UK-wide commercial litigation work, including in core firmwide areas of sector focus, such as transport and energy. Team head Richard Pitt is central, alongside the ‘extremely effective’ Helen Rowland, to the firm’s aptitude in public procurement, with both regularly achieving success for both claimants challenging public authority decisions and for procuring authorities defending challenges. Financial services-related matters also form a key part of the Cardiff office’s litigation strength, with Gareth Vowles heading up this subgroup. Luisa Gibbons is also a key contact, particularly with regard to public sector matters.
