Commercial health recruit joins firm’s London team
National law firm Bevan Brittan has announced that Lucy Doran has joined the firm as partner in its commercial health team. She brings a strong track record in large infrastructure projects and procurement.
Lucy joins from Trowers & Hamlins, where she was also a partner and acted as the lead legal adviser on a wide range of large-scale infrastructure projects, supporting clients on the drafting and negotiating of contracts and on procurement matters.
She works across sectors including health, local government, regeneration, housing and education, advising public sector clients and those contracting with them on their projects from inception to operation. She provides full procurement support on projects, as well as discrete pieces of procurement advice and option appraisal support.
Lucy said: ‘I am excited to join a team which is recognised as a leader in the commercial health public sector and procurement marketplace, and a firm which offers exciting opportunities and the chance to work flexibly across clients and sectors.
‘The team here already has impressive breadth and depth, and I am looking forward to adding my experience and working with new colleagues to meet the challenges facing private and public sector clients.’
Announcing Lucy’s arrival, partner Sharon Renouf, who leads the commercial health team at Bevan Brittan, said: ‘Lucy is another strong addition to our team and to our business as a whole, which maintains the momentum we have established from the very beginning of the year.
‘Lucy’s arrival shows yet again that Bevan Brittan is an attractive destination for experienced and well-regarded senior people who want to develop their careers in a firm which has grown consistently and continues to increase its client base across the public and private sector.
‘She is joining at a time when our public sector clients are being asked to do more with less. This means they are focused on obtaining value for money through procurement, while also considering the challenges of switching to a new procurement regime in October this year.’
