McCarthy Tétrault's practice is equipped to handle the gamut of procurement matters, namely the structuring of procurement models, preparing project agreements, managing the post-contract award phase and defending clients’ procurements from legal challenges. Leadership of the group is shared between Toronto-based Tristan Musgrave, Montreal-based Anca Neacsu and Vancouver-based David Crane. Also noted are litigator Julie Parla; and Robert Glasgow, who has focused his practice on international trade and customs, as well as government procurement mandates. The practice was bolstered with the January 2024 arrival of Halifax-based counsel and strategic advisor Ross Langley, who is experienced in government contracting, supply chain and procurement matters.
