They regularly act for clients in adjudication, Technology and Construction Court litigation, arbitration and mediation and other forms of ADR. They also provide a Project Counsel service to clients in connection with live projects.

They’re currently looking for talented and commercially minded Associates and Senior Associates with a strong background in contentious Construction law to join their growing team. You’ll be involved in a broad mix of construction advisory and dispute work, including:
