Senior Legal Counsel
Circa £130,000 per annum depending on experience
London SW1P 3JA
The Delivery Authority is developing its plans for the restoration of the Palace of Westminster and ancillary decant arrangements. In support of this we are recruiting for an experienced non contentious commercial lawyer to join our legal team as a Senior Legal Counsel.
Reporting to the General Counsel, the post-holder will be part of a small legal team providing legal advice across the organisation, working closely with the commercial and project teams. This will include supporting the development and procurement of major long term project contracts.
As a senior lawyer the post holder will make a pivotal contribution to a high performing legal function in an environment where the ability to identify and resolve legal issues across a range of work streams will be essential. As such the post-holder must demonstrate strong knowledge and technical acumen in both public procurement and construction/infrastructure contracts, combined with a solution focused and pragmatic outlook that takes account of the unique stakeholder environment.
The Palace of Westminster, one of the best recognised buildings in the world, needs essential restoration to preserve it for future generations. The Palace has a rich and remarkable history. Westminster Hall is over 900 years old and has been the scene of great moments in our country's political life, covering 34 acres, and the size of more than 1,000 houses, there are 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases, three miles of passageways, four floors and 65 different levels.
As well as being one of the UK's biggest buildings it's one of the nation's busiest workplaces with thousands of people on site each day, from catering and security staff to MPs and Peers to experts keeping this iconic building running. The Restoration and Renewal Programme is carrying out the tens of thousands of hours of complex building surveys and investigations needed to inform future decisions on the restoration work needed.
We've already engaged teams of architects, engineers, project managers and contractors who will shape the future direction of the work. Restoring Parliament is already boosting UK industries, and the restoration will use UK materials wherever possible and create jobs and apprenticeships across the country, from engineering and high-tech design to traditional crafts such as carpentry and stonemasonry.
