Hansom brings more than 20 years’ experience advising on public procurement, subsidy control and government contracting across sectors including defence, energy transition, real estate, education and healthcare. His work spans the UK, EU and GCC, and he is recognised in legal directories for his public procurement, education and healthcare expertise.

Charles Brasted, deputy practice group leader for global regulatory & IP, said Hansom’s arrival ‘strengthens our ability to advise in the ever-evolving area of public procurement and government contracts’, adding that his experience ‘aligns perfectly with our strategic priorities and client needs’.

Hansom said: ‘I’m thrilled to join Hogan Lovells and contribute to its global government contracts offering.’ He added that the firm’s ‘commitment to excellence and international reach aligns with my approach to client service and sector development’.
