Stewart Morrison

Partner, Head of Procurement and Supply Chain

Why choose me

I enjoy the varied nature of litigation. No two cases are ever the same, which is why I decided to specialise in dispute resolution. One of my specialisms is public procurement litigation. I enjoy the fast moving and academically taxing nature of the work, and thanks to my strong academic background, I am able to quickly distil and explain difficult legal concepts.

I work for both public and private organisations and pride myself on an approach that is professional, hardworking, and thorough. My areas of expertise are public procurement litigation, judicial review and other public law work, and commercial dispute resolution.

Outside of work, my passions include running. I have run in several events, including two half marathons. I am keen to build up to full marathon distance and have ambitions to eventually take part in Ironman competitions.

Questions my clients ask me

This varies on the type of dispute you are involved in. For example, for a contractual dispute you generally have up to six years to issue proceedings. Conversely, in public procurement litigation you are likely to have a matter of days to issue proceedings if you wish to prevent the award of the contract to the winning bidder.

In English law, the general rule is that the losing party pays the costs of the winning party. However, there will almost always be an element of legal costs that cannot be recovered from the other side.

If you issue proceedings before the contract is entered into, a public authority cannot award the contract and you will maintain a chance of being awarded the contract. However, the authority can apply to lift the suspension on awarding the contract, and such applications can be difficult to resist.
