The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading full-service firm headquartered in London with offices internationally. Our client is looking for a Contentious Construction mid to senior level lawyer to join an ambitious and growing team of specialists.

The firm is an established and highly reputable law firm, with annual revenue growing each year and now reaching over £200m. The firm advises commercial clients across a range of business sectors, with a particular emphasis on real estate developers, contractors, major engineering consultancies, and UHNWI on high-value construction projects.

The firm is looking for an Associate to join the growing Construction department dealing with the contentious side of adjudication, arbitration, and litigation in the Technology and Construction Court. You will also be working closely with the non-contentious team, advising on project solutions for clients from procurement, negotiation, contracting, and delivery.

As a mid to senior member of the team, you will need to work independently as well as be a key member of the team, assisting with the supervision of more junior members.

There is a genuine opportunity for career progression as the team grows, and members are encouraged to develop their own network of contacts within the industry.

• Excellent analytical, communication, and organisational skills
