Working under the umbrella of the firm’s infrastructure department, the procurement team at Norton Rose Fulbright handles bid preparation, including security clearance issues, and assists with the development of procurement templates and policies for both governmental and private sector clients.

The practice is co-led by Vancouver-based infrastructure practice head Jay LeMoine and specialist litigator Jenna Anne de Jong, who works from the Ottawa office.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team has strong breadth and depth of experience and expertise. It has assisted us with developing non-traditional contract models in response to our complex project needs and a challenging contractor market. A relative advantage to some other firms is the ability to draw in lawyers from its offices in other countries where other contractual approaches have been tried and they have been brought in seamlessly to support the team.’
