Orwins is building its national practice and we are looking for an experienced construction lawyer to join us at partner level — bringing expertise, clients and ambition in equal measure.
We do law differently — straightforward, commercially focused and built around long-term client relationships. Construction law sits naturally alongside our growing property and commercial practices, and we are looking for someone who can build a practice that serves developers, contractors, consultants and employers across the full spectrum of construction and engineering work
Responsibilities
A construction lawyer with strong technical skills across both contentious and non-contentious work, an established or developing client base and the commercial drive to build a practice within a growing national firm.
Requirements
Leading the firm's construction practice — advising clients across contentious and non-contentious construction and engineering matters.
Drafting and negotiating construction contracts — JCT, NEC and bespoke forms — as well as professional appointments, warranties and security packages.
Advising on construction disputes — adjudication, arbitration and litigation — and supporting clients through the resolution process.
Working closely with the property team on development finance, plot sales and development agreements where construction issues arise.
Developing and growing a construction client base — supported by the firm's infrastructure and cross-referral network.
In addition:
25 days annual leave, plus
