    Lead construction disputes where understanding what happened on site matters as much as interpreting the contract.

    The role

    • Handle construction litigation, arbitration and adjudication, including claims involving significant defects.
    • Advise on contract interpretation, professional negligence and project risk, with Building Safety Act issues forming part of the relevant knowledge.
    • Support junior lawyers, contribute to client relationships and help develop further work for the practice.

    What you will need

    A contentious construction lawyer with at least eight years of relevant experience. Familiarity with JCT, NEC and FIDIC contracts is relevant, and experience of substantial defect disputes would be useful. You should be able to assess complex evidence, work with technical advisers and explain a proportionate strategy to clients. The role combines detailed legal work with supervision and business development.
