Construction Disputes Associate, 3 to 5 PQE

This opportunity is for a construction lawyer with a mainly contentious background. You will advise on the legal and commercial issues that arise when projects face payment problems, delay, defective work or disputed responsibilities.

• Advise on payment, delay, defects and other construction contract issues.
• Prepare submissions and witness evidence for adjudication, arbitration, mediation and court proceedings.
• Manage client relationships and files, and contribute to seminars, publications and business development.

You will have at least three years of relevant qualified experience, including adjudication, mediation and court work. Strong knowledge of the construction payment legislation and civil procedure is expected, together with clear drafting and the confidence to make proportionate decisions. A degree at 2:1 level or equivalent is specified.

• Some experience of noncontentious construction work would be helpful, but is not essential.
• The role suits someone who enjoys identifying what matters commercially as well as legally.
• Register your interest with Connect Legal Partners.
• A recruiter can talk you through the role before you decide whether to be introduced.
