John Hane

Partner

John Hane is a partner at Foyen Advokatfirma and has been with the firm since 1998. He specialises in public procurement and construction law. As an advisor, he has frequently been retained as a strategic advisor before and during procurements for large infrastructure projects, and he also works with the day-to-day administration of such contracts on behalf of public sector construction clients. In this context, John has drafted national template agreements for construction with enhanced collaboration/partnering with application provisions for the Swedish Construction Clients Association, and is, perhaps, regarded as Sweden’s leading specialist in this area.

He is one of two primary authors of a book on partnering, a handbook on procurement of construction contracts, and a research report on increased innovation in conjunction with construction procurement. John also regularly authors articles and is frequently retained as a lecturer and course leader on public procurement and construction.
