Under the leadership of the 'outstanding' Tony Norris, Geldards LLP 'takes on all areas of construction work at the very highest level' for a public sector-focused client base. Recognised as being 'tough and commercial', Norris' market-leading reputation regularly sees him instructed by the Welsh government on many of its key infrastructure projects. In addition, on the contractual front, framework agreements he has drafted have become the industry standard and are used in relation to the majority of local authority and police capital projects in the South West of Wales. Claire Laviers, who was promoted to partner in August 2023, regularly assists Norris on major public sector-led work, as well as handling her own deal flow for local authorities and stakeholders in the private sector (including on complex multi-party projects).
