    Senior Associate - Birmingham, United Kingdom - Trowers & Hamlins

    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    Who we are

    Construction is central to our business. Our award-winning construction practice is, justifiably, one of the leaders in the construction legal field; equally comfortable acting on landmark national infrastructure projects or complex regeneration deals and our work takes us across the globe, wherever our clients are active.

    Our national offering is a 'life span' service for all contentious and non -contentious construction/engineering related matters, from initial structuring, procurement advice, setting up contracts, appointments, joint ventures and development agreements with backup specialists in employment, energy, property and tax. Our contentious work includes active project management assistance during the life of ongoing projects in order to 'trouble shoot' problems before they become formal disputes; and resolving disputes either through adjudication, litigation, arbitration or ADR in the event that formal proceedings are unavoidable.

    We are integrated with our colleagues in real estate, tax, planning and procurement. The team combines legal excellence, commercial acumen and an impressive track record together with a deep understanding of the construction industry. A significant number of our team are ranked as experts and leading practitioners in their field by Chambers UK and the Legal 500.

    Where you'll work

    Our specialist construction lawyers in Birmingham provide top quality advice to an enviable client base, across the full range of contentions and non-contentious matters. Our clients are developers, contractors, Registered Providers and public sector bodies. We work closely with our colleagues in our other UK offices in order to ensure that we meet the needs of our clients, and the size of our national construction team stands comparison with any other UK law firm and enables us to advise on a range of major projects nationwide. That said, we remain fiercely committed to our region, and are justifiably proud of the work that we do on some of the most exciting and high-profile projects in the Midlands. We are looking for high quality construction lawyers who have a passion for and a pride in the Midlands, who share our ambition and want to be part of our continued success story both nationally and locally.

    You can expect to be involved in non-contentious construction work which may include risk management advice on construction contracts and you may work with our procurement colleagues on procuring construction projects. A few examples of the work our Birmingham team are currently engaged in are;

  • Acting for a number of national PLC housebuilders in relation to the procurement and development of major housing development projects and associated infrastructure developments,
  • Providing assistance to various parties in connection with façade fire safety issues in high rise buildings; assisting with accessing funding for and the procurement of essential remedial works
  • Acting for a number of Midlands based developers and contractors who are driving change and improvement locally, and through this we are proud to play our part in the evolution and development of Birmingham and the Midlands
  • Advising public sector clients on large scale decarbonisation projects, working alongside our Energy team.
  • What you'll be doing

  • Advising clients including regional and national contractors and developers, local and central government departments, registered providers operating in the commercial / private and public sectors.
  • Providing construction related procurement advice to public sector clients.
  • Advising on all aspects of development through design and construction.
  • Advising on asset management contracts and maintenance contracts.
  • Advising on decarbonisation projects including SHDF and HUG funded schemes
  • Advising on infrastructure projects
  • Advising a wide range of publicly funded housing organisations on development schemes and asset management arrangements.
  • Providing construction due diligence support to the real estate, corporate and banking teams on acquisitions and disposals.
  • Building and maintaining effective client relationships.
  • Active participation in marketing initiatives.
  • What you'll need
