What can I do for you

Alison specialises in complex PPP projects and other long-term partnering contracts.  Her work includes advising the Ministry of Defence on the outsourcing of technical and logistics services.  Alison also supports the Defence Infrastructure Organisation on its land service delivery partner programme, universities on student accommodation nomination agreements, NHS Trusts on performance-related issues under PFI contracts and contract variations.

What do others say

Alison helped an NHS Trust client on its two PFI contracts for the delivery of elderly infirm and medium secure care facilities.  They said that working with her had been “an overwhelmingly positive experience,” that the quality of the service was “excellent” and described her as “personable – you could have a laugh with her”.

Supporting your ambitions

An example of Alison's current work includes working as part of the team supporting the Ministry of Defence with the development of its multi billion-pound programme to provide communications and information systems for use in tactical environments.  Drawing on her experience and judgement to achieve a beneficial commercial agreement, Alison helped the client to focus on key service and operational requirements and to develop a robust but balanced KPI and incentivisation regime.  Alison is supporting this client on the roll-out of related competed services under the programme.

What else should you know?

Alison was seconded to the government’s Central Legal Services for six months based in Abbey Wood, Bristol. This was a great opportunity to get to know the legal team, how they work and to understand their internal approvals’ processes.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
