National law firm Browne Jacobson has strengthened its IT transactions offering to clients with the appointment of commercial partner, Khalid Ghazi, to support Anthony Nagle who heads up the IT and complex transactions team in its London office.
Khalid joins from the Commercial Law Group (CLGp) of the Government Legal Department (GLD), the in-house commercial legal advisers to Government, where he was a Senior Lawyer. He specialises in major projects for government departments, with a particular focus on technology transactions involving complex implementations and transformations, including outsourcing (ITO and BPO), as well as advising government on associated issues such as procurement, and on novel and cutting edge matters such as Artificial Intelligence and its regulation. He brings with him deep commercial projects and government experience, having spent over 10 years inside Government during a period which encompassed the financial crisis and austerity, EU exit and the COVID19 pandemic. During that time, Khalid advised a broad range of government departments, executive agencies and non-departmental public bodies on some of their most complex and demanding commercial projects, programmes and issues. Prior to joining the GLD, Khalid trained and worked at international law firms Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman and McCarthy Tetrault.
Partner Anthony Nagle who leads the IT and complex transactions team at Browne Jacobson commented on the appointment: “Khalid is a very well-respected and highly talented commercial lawyer whose experience of working at the CLGp will prove to be invaluable and a significant asset to our client base.
“His extensive knowledge on the complexities around commercial contracts / projects and his ability to offer high quality, tailored and pragmatic legal advice will be a perfect fit for the firm and its strategic objectives.”
Khalid Ghazi added: “Having worked with many law firms in my government career, I have long been impressed by Browne Jacobson’s performance on the most difficult, demanding and complex transactions where they have consistently provided a premium service and proved themselves to be top tier for this kind of work. This put them at the top of my list and I am very pleased to be joining the firm as it builds and develops its practice in London”.
