UK, UK, United Kingdom VINCI Building UK Part time

Senior In-House Lawyer (Contentious)


Location: Watford (Hybrid working)


Contract Type: (Permanent)


In this role you will take on a varied role predominantly advising on contentious construction matters and supervising external solicitors.


The role sits within an established legal team (including general counsel) which serves the UK division of the company.


Scope of role will include:


  • Advising on and conduct of contentious construction matters including adjudications (experience in relation to payment disputes, breach of contract disputes, cladding and/or PFI disputes would be an advantage)
  • Providing legal support to our project and delivery teams including drafting correspondence and advising on claims issues
  • Assisting with training and know how within the business
  • Supervising external solicitors


Candidates must have significant experience gained within an in house or private practice of the above (some in house experience in the sector is preferred but not essential) and be familiar with all forms of dispute resolution, especially adjudication, court proceedings, arbitration and ADR. It is anticipated that candidates will have a minimum PQE 3+ years but candidates with less will be considered if they can demonstrate the requisite experience.


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.

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