The firm are expanding the highly regarded London-based Construction, Engineering & Projects team due to increasing client demand. The full-service construction law team offers comprehensive transactional advice, dispute avoidance, and resolution services for large-scale projects both in the UK and internationally.
The practice are known for representing a diverse range of clients, with a strong focus on real estate developers, housebuilders, property investment firms, contractors, subcontractors, and major engineering consultancies.

- Conduct dispute advisory work, including alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation.
- Handle a variety of issues, including final account disputes, delay claims, construction insolvency, bond claims, ACM cladding, fire safety defects, professional indemnity, and other insurance-related matters.
- Advise governmental bodies, sponsors, funders, developers, employers, constructors, subcontractors, and professional teams on dispute avoidance, resolution strategies, and project procurement techniques.
- Maintain and cultivate relationships with existing clients, providing timely, high-quality advice while managing expectations.
- Collaborate with team members to deliver large-scale, high-value client projects to the highest standards.
- Assist in drafting, negotiating, and advising on construction contracts, consultant appointments, collateral warranties, financial securities, letters of intent, and reliance letters.
- Contribute to group knowledge sharing, marketing efforts, and best practices.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements, including those set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
Candidate Profile:
- Qualified solicitor (England & Wales) or equivalent with 2-7 years PQE, with the ability to integrate seamlessly into teams.
- Proven experience in contentious construction work, particularly in UK adjudications, TCC litigation, and arbitration, as well as other dispute resolution methods (mediation, expert determination, etc.).

- Excellent time management and stakeholder engagement abilities.
- Capability to build effective relationships at all levels while aligning with the firm’s culture and team dynamics.
- Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively as needed.
- Flexible and willing to go the extra mile.
- Experience with TCC cases related to fire safety litigation is a significant advantage.
