Sophia Hussain

I am an associate in Bird & Bird's projects team, focusing on public sector, utilities, and private sector procurement.

Having trained and worked within Central Government and now at Bird & Bird, I have built extensive experience advising on public procurement and public law. My first-hand understanding of Central Government processes enables me to advise public authorities in a pragmatic and solution-focused way, while simultaneously allowing me to provide insights to suppliers bidding for public sector opportunities.

My public procurement experience includes advising on complex procurements governed by a range of procedures and modifications to contracts. I have also advised both public authorities and suppliers on challenges made under the public procurement regime.

I regularly advise private sector clients on private procurements, including setting out the various options available, assisting with the implementation of the most suitable procurement strategy and drafting procurement documents to achieve the client's objectives.

I enjoy working in a collaborative way with clients to understand and help to achieve their desired outcomes.
