Kevin Calder

Kevin is head of the technology and life sciences sector at Mills & Reeve. He specialises in providing commercial and procurement advice to clients including plcs, government departments and industry regulators. Kevin supports customers on major outsourcing projects, typically with a technology focus, and works with suppliers to protect and exploit their intellectual property internationally.

Kevin has helped turn around a number of high profile projects which were regarded by the clients as impossible to successfully move forward, and he thrives on delivering results against a backdrop of challenging timeframes and difficult legal issues. Kevin enjoys supporting strategic discussions to set a project off in the right direction, and is not afraid to get stuck in to technical details when needed. Kevin's pragmatic and solution-focussed approach has helped a number of his clients get a better deal more quickly.

A client is quoted by Chambers UK as saying about Kevin: "I've never worked with an individual as knowledgeable and so able to respond at any time of day," and "We've thrust horrendous issues at him, and he can always calmly deliver a concise answer."

Kevin loves finding out what's new in the world of technology and exploring the latest gadgets, but is also very proud of his fully working "vintage" Nokia 6310i which he claims is still the best mobile for actually talking to clients.
