New managing partner at public sector law firm

Public sector law specialist Sharpe Pritchard has announced the appointment of Timothy Farr as its new managing partner.

Tim succeeds Julia Rudin, who stands down after seven years at the helm.

Tim, who joined Sharpe Pritchard in 2008, has a wealth of experience in procurement, commercial contracts, governance and strategic public-private partnerships.

Commenting on his appointment, he said: ‘I am honoured to take on the role of managing partner at Sharpe Pritchard. Julia has been a tremendous leader, and I am grateful for her guidance and support. I look forward to building on the firm’s strong foundations and leading our talented team as we meet the challenges of the transformation of legal services.

Reflecting on her tenure, Julia said: ‘It has been an honour to serve as managing partner at Sharpe Pritchard. I am immensely proud of the firm’s achievements and the exceptional team we have built. As I step down from this role, I have full confidence in Tim’s capabilities to lead the firm forward and continue delivering outstanding service to our clients.’
