Experienced Commercial, Contracts & Tendering Direc...

Experienced Commercial Director and qualified lawyer providing pragmatic commercial & contract solutions (contract drafting, review and negotiation; tender management & review; proof reading) As well as being a qualified barrister (non-practising), I have extensive experience working with or in a number of market sectors, including oil & gas, local/central government, management consulting and BPO, in a wide range of commercial, legal and business development roles. These roles involved liaising with, briefing, and reporting to, all management levels and, as such, I have a sound knowledge and understanding of legal and commercial concerns, management issues and financial accountability. Most recent roles include Global Commercial and Tendering Manager for an international oil services company and my current role of Global Legal Counsel and Contracts Manager for another oil services company, as well as being director of my own commercial contracts and tendering consultancy. A confident, articulate and highly motivated individual with excellent interpersonal skills, I am able to work to my own initiative to achieve tight deadlines, as well as having the capacity to work within, ...and manage, a team to achieve its goals. Legal documents and contracts: I have many years experience in drafting legal... documents and contracts of all types, ranging from company secretarial documentation and joint venture documents to employee contracts and sales agreements to website terms and conditions and contract templates. As well as ensuring that the documents are legally correct, I am also able to ensure that they are clear and pragmatic from a commercial viewpoint, something which is often missed in many agreements which are pure 'legalese'. Tendering: My company provides commercial contracts and tendering advice, both to small and medium sized enterprises without their own in-house resources as well as to larger companies needing additional assistance at peak periods of activity. Whether responding to potential clients or choosing a new supplier, tender preparation and evaluation requires a significant amount of time and resources, and many companies either do not have the capacity to cope or find it more cost-effective and efficient to get someone else to provide this service. I provide a wide range of tender services when you respond to a client's Invitation to Tender (ITT), depending on your exact requirements, including: - reviewing the ITT and providing advice on what the client is looking for and what you should include in the finished submission; - providing advice and training on pricing for your market; - reviewing your tender proposal, suggesting amends and corrections where necessary; - editing and formatting existing material to present it in a professional manner; - proofreading your tender response - surprisingly one of the trickiest parts; and - the complete service, from review of the ITT document to submission of your proposal � all you have to do is provide me with the raw information, decide on your price and read through the finished document to make sure you are happy with it. Proof reading: I have many years experience in drafting and proof reading various documents, ranging from legal documents to academic theses and publications and, as such, have extensive experience in ensuring that words are used correctly, in the right context and, of course, are spelled correctly.
