**The Team**

Operating out of our London and Manchester offices, The Construction & Projects team consists of 5 partners, 16 fee earners and trainees and paralegals incorporating non-contentious and contentious practitioners. It sits within our Real Estate department, which consists of 20 partners, 32 fee-earners and trainees and paralegals and works closely with our Dispute Resolution department (including the International Arbitration team), which consists of 23 partners, 26 fee earners and trainees and paralegals.

The team works against the backdrop of the firm's sectors, with particular focuses on infrastructure, energy and natural resources, development, education and leisure both domestically and internationally. We act for contractors, developers, owners, end-users, government bodies, lenders and consultants.

Our team is valued for its responsiveness, commercial focus and in-depth market knowledge. As a team they work flexibly with a balance of working in the office and at home.

You will have experience in drafting and negotiating all types of construction documentation, including construction contracts, professional appointments, collateral warranties, third party rights agreements, parent company guarantees, terms and conditions of business, bonds and escrow agreements.

On the contentious side, experience in adjudication is a must, together with some experience of 'live project advice', TCC litigation and forms of ADR including instructing experts and settling pleadings.

It would be advantageous if you were experienced in, at least, JCT, NEC3 and NEC4 forms of contract and have good wider industry knowledge.

The successful applicant will benefit from high-calibre work, whilst also enjoying a collegiate, supportive, and friendly working culture, as well as a high degree of direct client contact.
