Coalville Leicestershire, United Kingdom Barratt Developments Full time

Supporting the business and our divisional offices, our Head Office functions cover all departments from our Executive Board through to our support functions such as Group Design and Technical, HR, Health and Safety, IT, Sales and Marketing, Commercial, Procurement, Group Finance, Corporate Affairs, as well as Legal and Company Secretariat. The Group Legal and Compliance (GLCT) function of Barratt Developments plc, based in Coalville, Leicestershire, is run by a progressive and innovative Head of Legal who is committed to developing a dynamic legal support function. The new role of Senior Litigation Lawyer has been identified as a critical element to achieving this. The role is to support GLCT with complex Commercial, Construction, and Building Safety Litigation. The successful candidate will not only provide direct hands-on legal advice, but also coordinate with and oversee other members of the Group Legal Team and manage external advisors in the provision of legal support to the business.

#Take overall responsibility and accountability for advising on contentious legal matters, either directly, or in collaboration with other members of the Group Legal function and/or external lawyers (depending on the nature of the support required).

#Develop and maintain strong relationships with the key members of Barratt Group and its various divisions such as the Building Safety Unit (BSU). This will require the cultivating of a “trusted partner/advisor” relationship to better and more closely align the Group Legal function to the objectives and needs of the wider business.

#Monitor and budget external legal spend, identifying opportunities to create additional value from existing law firm relationships and following up on implementing the same in order to generate and demonstrate that value add.

#Report into the Head of Regulatory, Construction, and Disputes on a regular basis. Be responsible for the production and reporting of material litigation matter to the Executive on a monthly basis.

#Proactively participate in and contribute to knowledge and information sharing within the Group Legal team and the BSU, to ensure: (i) an aligned approach to legal support is being delivered across the business where applicable; Supervise, coach/mentor, and upskill more junior lawyers in the team to be able to meet their development needs and progress their careers within the organization.


Be either a Senior Commercial or Senior Construction Litigation lawyer by background, someone familiar with the pace and requirements of litigious negotiation and settlement type activity

#The ability to readily switch between strategically evaluating situations in real-time and providing credible and coherent hands-on legal advice in a commercial context

#Ideally either have worked in house for a large corporate or currently be in a senior litigation position in private practice (Senior Associate/Legal Director); and (though not a pre-requisite) have experience working in the construction/residential development sector
