• UK-qualified solicitor with 5–8 years’ PQE in non-contentious construction law.
• Proven track record of advising on complex projects and drafting associated legal documentation.
• Deep understanding of procurement processes and project risk.
• Client-focused with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
