Job Summary

VINCI Building UK is seeking a highly experienced Senior Lawyer to join our established legal team. As a Senior Lawyer, you will play a key role in advising on contentious construction matters and supervising external solicitors.

About the Role

This is a varied role that will see you working predominantly on contentious construction matters, including adjudications. You will provide legal support to our project and delivery teams, drafting correspondence and advising on claims issues.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advising on and conducting contentious construction matters, including adjudications, payment disputes, breach of contract disputes, cladding and/or PFI disputes.
  • Providing legal support to our project and delivery teams, including drafting correspondence and advising on claims issues.
  • Assisting with training and knowledge sharing within the business.
  • Supervising external solicitors.

Requirements

Candidates must have significant experience gained within an in-house or private practice, with a minimum of 3+ years of PQE. Familiarity with all forms of dispute resolution, especially adjudication, court proceedings, arbitration, and ADR is essential.

Candidates may also be expected to provide occasional support on the non-contentious/transactional side, and familiarity with JCT and NEC suites would be an advantage.

What We Offer

This is a full-time role, but we will consider someone who wants to work part-time (min. 4 days). The position is based in our UK head office, with some scope for home working.
