London, United Kingdom Osborne Clarke Full time

"They have been pragmatic and proactive in proposing strategic advice....very friendly team effort." - Chambers & Partners_

Due to continued strategic growth and high client demand we are looking for an Associate to join our highly regarded Construction & Engineering Disputes and Risk team. This is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic practice that has enjoyed significant growth over recent years.

Based in either our London or Bristol office, you will have the chance to work with and learn from every member of the cross-office team, with exposure to the full spectrum of contentious construction and engineering matters handled by the service line.

We encourage each member of the team to build client relationships from the outset with a structured career path, goals and objectives at every level. You will be joining a successful firm with a collegiate and supportive culture, which makes it a rewarding place to work.

**The practice**

Our team is based across our offices in London and Bristol, working closely together on matters. The group has a first rate domestic client base and continues to develop an international reputation. We act for investors, developers and contractors with a keen focus and strategy based on our core industry sectors that link all of our service delivery together for our clients. In this team that is primarily through Energy & Utilities, The Built Environment and Mobility & Infrastructure.

We have traditionally acted for blue chip companies, Government entities, utilities, rail operators, property developers, contractors, professionals and private individuals. For example, we are on the Engie, NG Bailey and Siemens panels for construction work, with other key clients and relationships including NGED, M&G Real Estate, Balfour Beatty and Civitas Living, BDW, Octopus Renewables, Vistry, Innogy and UK Power Networks.

Other key areas of expertise include handling disputes arising out of major projects (including PFI) both in the UK and internationally and managing project risk through the construction and operation phases of a wide variety of assets types.

**The team**

Led by Rob Horne, Partner and also International Head of the Mobility and Infrastructure Sector, the team is made up of 25 fee earners.

Rob is based in London and the team there is currently made up of 2 further Partners, 2 Associate Directors, 4 Senior Associates, 4 Associates, 2 Trainee Solicitors, a Paralegal and a Paralegal / Project Manager.

In Bristol there are currently 3 Associate Directors, a Senior Associate, 2 Associates and a Trainee Solicitor.

The team is incredibly close knit and collegiate. Being truly integrated, the office any individual is associated with is never a bar to being involved in any of the work undertaken. There are no specific reporting lines, everyone is encouraged and has the opportunity to work with as many people as possible, on as many different matters as possible.

**What we are looking for**

**Technical skills and experience**:
**Willingness to learn** - We do not expect Associates to know everything. We are an exceptionally supportive team that pushes and helps each other to learn as much as possible from our work. To succeed, you will need an open mind ready to take on guidance as well as a willingness to put your hand up to learn everything you can about an industry everyone in the team is passionate about and excited to be involved with.

Due to the nature of the work and structure of the team, we are looking to appoint an Associate.

**Your career development**

Like all our lawyers, you will benefit from our multi-award winning career development programme. At each stage of your career this provides you with:

- clear expectations of your role and what it takes to progress both on a firm wide basis and specifically within the team;
- high quality clients and work, with early responsibility and client exposure;
- thorough assessment and individual feedback from a range of experienced colleagues;
- robust technical training with early skills based development, increasingly tailored to you; and
- reward for your contribution, progression and potential, rather than PQE or tenure.

**Salary and benefits**

We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits.
