Construction Associate (Contentious Focus)

Our client, a leading international law firm, is seeking a construction Associate to join its busy and highly regarded London team. This is an excellent opportunity to work with a diverse and sophisticated client base, including developers, funders, contractors, sub-contractors, and consultants, on a broad range of construction matters. While the role will predominantly focus on contentious work, there may be occasions when non-contentious support is required. You will be involved in dispute resolution across litigation, arbitration, adjudication, mediation, and negotiation. The work will also include complex contract drafting and negotiation, project due diligence, and advising on a variety of construction and engineering contracts, professional appointments, warranties, and guarantees. The successful candidate will be England & Wales qualified, with 2-4 years' PQE gained in a well-regarded construction practice. Solid contentious experience is essential, while non-contentious exposure is highly desirable. Strong client-facing skills, commercial acumen, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively are key. Experience in the renewables sector or in adjudication would be an advantage. This firm offers a supportive, forward-thinking environment with a strong commitment to professional development. You will benefit from hybrid working, a comprehensive benefits package, and the opportunity to work on high-quality domestic and international matters alongside recognised experts in the field. To apply, or to discuss your current situation in confidence, please contact Thiago Silva. Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.
