Alison, Partner, Outsourcing
We have dedicated outsourcing lawyers across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The core offerings we have in our outsourcing practice are outsourcing in the fields of technology, telecoms, HR, facilities management and logistics. We’ve done global technology outsourcing deals for global technology companies, we’ve done global facilities management deals for financial services companies and we’ve done logistics outsourcing for key retailers. There’s so much to do in an outsourcing project you need to focus down on what are the big issues. So the risk management piece of making sure that the client is buying what it thinks its buying, it’s being delivered in the right way and the client has the right levers to pull if things don’t work out. The vast majority of our clients for our outsourcing projects are customers rather than suppliers so, because we see many different suppliers when we’re acting for our customers, that means we’ve got a good view of the market and what is market practice.
