Anders Christensen

Associate, Bird & Bird

I am a lawyer specialising in procurement law, with experience across a broad range of sectors and on both sides of the table — advising contracting authorities, including local councils, government institutions and social housing organisations, as well as acting on the bidder side.

I have focused on procurement since 2021, working across sectors including defence, infrastructure, construction and government projects.

2025–Present: Associate, Bird & Bird, London (International Projects & Procurement Group)

I qualified for the Danish Bar in 2024 following the three-year apprenticeship requirement. After relocating to London in 2025, I passed the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) in 2026, qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales*.
