Addressing Industry Challenges with Purpose and Expertise

​

Legal. Procurement. Contracts.
Three words that should create structure and clarity. 

​

We focus on the intersection of law and procurement in complex sectors like offshore energy. Where decisions carry weight, time is tight, and risks are real.

Our approach is clear:

  • Simplify

  • Focus 

  • Build 

 

We combine legal insight with procurement pragmatism not just theory, but practical advice, support in processes, and cohesion for the teams doing the work.

​

I truly believe that most of the answers are already in the company. We support on connecting the right people, structuring the thinking, and building systems that stick.

​

In this section you will find what we see in the industry: Trends. Red flags. Patterns worth noticing. Practical thoughts from real projects short reads designed to help you think, adjust, and act.

Thanks for being here.

Sincerely,

Procurement is strategic, not admin...

​Why treating the procurement department as paperwork processors costs you millions.

Procurement is often treated as a support function.
Get the contract signed, tick the compliance boxes, move on.

But in projects where scope creep, delays, and claims can spiral, procurement is the first line of defense. 

​

  • Strong contracting foundations help prevent disputes.

  • Clear scoping reduces variations and resources leak.

  • Timely involvement leads to thoughtful selection of subcontractors and brings better partners on critical packages.

​

Procurement is not admin. It is strategic.
Handled well, it protects your margin and your reputation.

 

Start by asking:
Are we treating procurement as a partner, a risk mitigator, a value creator or a paper-pusher?

How are we liaising with procurement to work effectively with them and not around them? 

​​

Procurement is one of the most connected functions in any organization regularly engaging with business units, project teams, and support functions alike.

If you haven’t reached out to them in a spirit of collaboration, try doing so out of sheer curiosity.

You might discover practical insights that help you work smarter, solve problems faster, and make better day-to-day decisions, no matter your role.
