    The team

    Our construction and engineering team advises on all aspects of legal construction matters, from strategic advice on procurement and institutional and market expectations at project inception, to contentious aspects of projects during and after the completion of a project. The team of five partners and ten other qualified lawyers, from senior associates to paralegals, helps clients across the industry, including developers, contractors, sub-contractors, consultants, public authorities, higher education bodies and funding and letting entities. We advise on development work, major infrastructure projects, remediation contracts and process plant and power generation projects. We also advise clients on disputed issues, and act in adjudication, Technology and Construction Court actions, and arbitration and mediation.

    The role

    Ideally, we are looking for someone who has a strong background in contentious work however we are open to receiving applications from people with any construction law background and are open to candidates who want to do a mixed load of contentious and non-contentious. We are a growing team and are keen to have a team member who will support the team's strategic growth plans and offer exceptional client service.

    You will be working closely with the team and will typically be advising on a mix of construction disputes whether they be in adjudication, arbitration, mediation or court proceedings. You will also be advising on claims in relation to time, money and defective work/design, during and after the construction phase. Our contentious and transactional lawyers work closely together as one team, and a willingness to help with some non-contentious work if required would be useful.

    This opening will present you with a great opportunity to work alongside experts in the field for some big household names and be supported with a clear career path.
