2. Senior Construction Lawyer | 5–10 Years PAE

You will be responsible for:

  • Advising on major construction and development projects
  • Drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex construction contracts
  • Providing strategic contractual, property and risk advice
  • Advising developers, contractors and other industry clients
  • Assisting with property aspects of construction and development projects
  • Advising on project delivery, contractual obligations and risk
  • Managing matters and client relationships independently
  • Mentoring junior lawyers

About You

For both positions, you will ideally have:

  • A genuine interest in front-end construction
  • Strong drafting and analytical skills
  • Excellent communication and client management skills
  • A practical and commercially minded approach
