Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Arbuthnot Yon Full time

Company Overview

Arbuthnot Yon is an innovative business in the building and construction sector, working across various landscapes including residential and commercial development, infrastructure, education, and healthcare, both in the UK and internationally.

We are a long-established business with a successful and mature legal team. Our client has recognised the need to bolster its existing legal team with the addition of a disputes lawyer to facilitate litigation function in-house from its current home with external law firms.

Job Description

This is a rare opportunity for a contentious construction lawyer to join our organisation where you will lead on construction related disputes and support across a range of non-contentious areas.

You will be responsible for handling a mix of cases internally and managing and overseeing large-scale actions with the support of external lawyers. The role will involve 50% contentious work and then 50% non-contentious work, focused on construction and commercial agreements, training, insurance, and compliance areas.

Required Skills and Qualifications

we are keen to hear from lawyers with a good level of experience in contentious construction, with at least 5 years post-qualified experience (PQE). You should be able to take a leading role in the strategic handling of the business's risk and ongoing contentious matters.

Any experience in non-contentious construction or commercial areas is a bonus but we are also keen to hear from anyone looking to up-skill in this area.

Benefits

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who would enjoy building long-term relationships within a business while also directing litigation strategy and direction where no two days are the same.

As a member of our team, you can expect a competitive salary package in the region of £90,000 - £120,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus benefits and opportunities for career growth and professional development.
