Speaking about the hire, Sparke Helmore projects and government commercial national practice group leader Paul Tobin said: “We are excited to welcome Sheldon onboard.
“Sheldon’s expertise and know-how will allow us to expand the services we provide to our clients and support the continued growth of our national practice.”
