Lucy is a director in our Projects team who acts for clients on major projects and complex commercial transactions, with a focus on the defence and aerospace sectors.
Lucy has extensive experience advising both public and private sector clients throughout the full project lifecycle, including:
- supporting clients to develop a commercial strategy and advising on the structuring of complex projects and transactions;
- advising on the development of contractual arrangements and associated commercial and legal issues including pricing, payment and incentivisation, risk allocation and liability;
- advising on multi-party transactions, partnering, alliancing and other collaborative structures; and
- assisting with project mobilisation, transition, and ongoing contract management.
Lucy has particular experience of advising the UK Ministry of Defence on major strategic defence programmes and as a result has a deep understanding of the issues faced by customers and suppliers in this sector, and a detailed knowledge of defence contracting principles, including MOD standard contracts, specimen clauses and DEFCONs, UK MOD commercial policy, and the Single Source Contract Regulations.
Lucy is also committed to diversity and inclusion and is part of a team responsible for managing the firm’s gender balance employee network, helping to develop initiatives which promote best practice and equality in the workplace.
