What can I do for you

Jenny is a professional support lawyer with 20 years' experience who joined the firm in 2007. She is an expert in public procurement law, supporting our public procurement team's work with clients from across the government, health, education, private and third sectors. Following our re-appointment to the CCS Legal Services Panel in autumn 2021, her most recent focus has been on procurement law in the central government context, having been seconded to a major government department to provide procurement law support.

Jenny is the main curator of our highly regarded Procurement Portal (often described by readers as the go-to site for all things procurement law) as well as the author of our procurement portal blog. She is also the convener of our bi-monthly, bite-sized "5 in 25" series of procurement law webinars which regularly attract over 1000 registrations and always receive great feedback for their punchy format and practical advice.

What do others say

"Just a quick note to say how good I thought today’s training was. Pitched at the right level, with not too little and not too much detail and confirming some of my understanding whilst filling in some grey areas. I have spoken to my team members who have said the very same thing."  

"Very good and interesting webinar, I really like how these are short and in a digestible 30 minute format. Also helpful and nice to see the speakers smiling and happy!"

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.”
