Job description

Overview

A leading UK law firm is seeking an experienced construction lawyer to join its established construction practice on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

The role will focus on non-contentious construction matters, including the drafting and negotiation of construction and engineering contracts, consultant appointments, development agreements and associated documentation. The successful candidate will work on high-quality, often complex projects for a diverse and prestigious client base.

Responsibilities

• Draft and negotiate construction and engineering contracts, consultant appointments, development agreements and associated documentation for high-quality, complex projects.

• Contribute to a collaborative team environment and support senior colleagues on varied matters within the construction practice.

Qualifications

Candidates should have strong experience in non-contentious construction work gained within a recognised practice. Qualification in England & Wales is not essential, and applications are welcomed from lawyers qualified in other jurisdictions with relevant UK construction law experience. Excellent drafting skills, commercial awareness and the ability to work effectively within a collaborative team environment are key requirements.

Opportunity

This opportunity would suit a lawyer seeking a high-calibre fixed-term role within a collegiate and intellectually rigorous firm, offering exposure to premium work and clients.

Application

Please apply as directed or confidentially contact Rowan Hemblade at Henderson Scott for more information. Alternatively, if this role is not for you, I am working a variety of other construction roles with ranked teams in the City of London so would be interested to talk to any construction lawyer.
