We are working with a FTSE 100 UK business that is embarking on a multi-billion-pound capital investment programme and is looking to strengthen its in-house legal team with the appointment of a 2-8 PQE construction lawyer. This is an opportunity to move beyond simply reviewing construction contracts and become a genuine legal partner to the teams delivering major infrastructure projects.
With billions being invested in infrastructure over the coming years, you'll have the opportunity to work on a significant and varied portfolio of projects, engage directly with senior stakeholders and advise on some of the most important construction programmes in the business.
Your work will include:
- Advising predominantly on NEC-based construction contracts across major infrastructure programmes which are varied and high profile and valued in the billions each year.
- Working closely with major contractors, consultants and supply-chain partners.
- Acting as a genuine legal business partner to project, commercial, procurement and operational teams.
- Providing pragmatic legal advice on complex issues throughout the project lifecycle.
- Advising and reporting to senior stakeholders across the organisation.
You will be 2-8 PQE and looking to move into, or develop further within, a sophisticated in-house environment with a strong track record of developing its legal talent.
You’ll ideally bring:
- Strong experience in non-contentious construction
- Good working knowledge of NEC contracts.
- Experience advising on major projects or infrastructure programmes.
- Experience of contentious construction and/or regulated procurement would be advantageous, but is not essential.
- A commercially minded and pragmatic approach to legal advice across a complex organisation.
- The confidence to work directly with senior business stakeholders and external counterparties.
The business is based in the West Midlands and operating a hybrid model. It can be full time or part time 4 days (but not less).
In addition to the competitive base salary, the wider package includes.
- up to 20% bonus
- £5,000 car allowance
- 15% employer pension contributions
- fantastic family benefits
