Commercial law firm in London is looking to recruit two Construction lawyers (to undertake both contentious and non-contentious Construction matters) – one of 1 to 4 years’ PQE and the other 5 or more years’ PQE. These roles are wide ranging and will include advising the firm's clients on the avoidance, management and mitigation of Construction disputes; investigation and advisory work; adjudication; litigation; mediation; and arbitration in respect of disputes in the construction sector including changes and variations; extension of time and delay claims; claims for loss and/or expense, prolongation and disruption; payment disputes including those relating to payment and pay less notices; termination and suspension; defective design, materials and/or workmanship; and professional negligence. The successful candidates will also attend meetings with clients, conferences with counsel and attend court, as required.
