Associate | Public Procurement

We are currently looking for an associate lawyer to join our Public Procurement Practice. The position is ideally suited for a newly graduated lawyer with some prior practical experience in public procurement and a genuine interest in the rapidly evolving public procurement landscape. You will be part of a team advising clients across borders and industries, on both sides of the table.

At Hannes Snellman, we combine legal excellence with industry knowledge and business understanding to help our clients make the smartest decisions in demanding situations. Our Public Procurement Practice is part of our IP & Technology Team and advises on some of the most complex public procurement matters. Our mandates range from assisting suppliers in tender procedures and supporting public sector clients in organising procurement processes, to handling negotiations and disputes, advising on public procurement aspects of M&A transactions, and representing clients before courts of law.

"Lately, we have, for example, organised a tendering competition for the largest library system in the world, handled disputes in and out of court, assessed in-house limitations, advised bidders, and analysed obligations to conduct tender procedures within the utilities sector. Our work is very diverse, and we also do our best to have fun along the way. We are now looking for a team mate to tackle complex questions with us. We offer interesting legal challenges, international mandates, and an opportunity to make a real impact in the market."
