Alex Lawrence

My role

I am a senior associate in the projects department acting for local government and wider public sector clients as well as those working with the public sector.  I specialise in commercial contracts, public procurement, subsidy control and governance matters.

My experience

I have extensive experience as a solicitor, gained both in-house with a large local authority and in private practice, advising on a range of public sector service areas including waste and environment, highways, transport, leisure, adult social care and children’s social care.

As a commercial solicitor, I advise on the development and management of contracts alongside public procurement and subsidy control implications.  My governance work includes local government vires, decision-making and the setup/operation of new delivery models such as companies and limited liability partnerships.

I am ranked as a ‘rising star’ for local government in the Legal 500 2024 and an ‘associate to watch’ for local government in Chambers and Partners 2024.
