Neil Harrison has joined the litigation team of Newcastle commercial law firm, Square One Law, as a senior associate.

He is experienced in all aspects of EU procurement law including procurement related disputes, commercial contractual disputes, PFI disputes, judicial review proceedings and public law disputes.

He has extensive experience of mediation, arbitration and adjudication as well as the procurement process for both the private and public sectors.
