What is your favourite thing about working at Chamberlain Square?

 

The team in the Birmingham Office has to be the best thing about working at Chamberlain Square. It’s been a privilege to join the office at such an early stage, and it feels like such a friendly atmosphere where everyone knows each other and are able to collaborate and share ideas.

 

How do you anticipate the new Procurement Act 2023 impacting Birmingham’s public sector legal market?

 

The introduction of the Procurement Act 2023 represents one of the biggest changes to the procurement rules we have seen to date. Of course, this change brings some challenges for our public sector clients in Birmingham, who we are currently supporting to ensure that they are ready for implementation. However, the Act also represents a huge opportunity for us to connect with our clients and help them plan for the change. TLT has launched our Procuring 360 initiative, which is designed to help prepare our public sector clients, and clients who supply the public sector, for the new Act. Through this initiative, we are providing access to free online training, webinars and materials. We are pleased to talk to existing and potential clients about more tailored support which we can provide, which expands beyond legal advice into offering technical, consultancy and practical support.  We are also excited to assist our clients when they procure for the first time under the regime and explore some of the new opportunities available to them.

What is your proudest achievement over the last year? 

The chance to present as part of the first Procuring 360 webinar in June was my proudest achievement over the last year. It was undoubtedly nerve-wracking, but it was a great chance to get to grips with a new topic, and presenting to such a wide audience gave me so much confidence and many new skills that I will bring with me for the rest of my career.

What challenges and opportunities do you anticipate for the team in Birmingham? 

TLT has made a huge impact in the Birmingham legal market over the past year and has converted many challenges to opportunities, a pattern which is set to continue.

The team has done a fantastic job with the office expansion, and the new client areas really show our investment in Birmingham. It’s also clear that TLT is attracting some of the best names in the Birmingham legal market, offering an exciting opportunity to highlight to clients that when they choose TLT, they will be working with some of the very best.
