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 bank holidays and your birthday off — increasing with service
- Private Medical Insurance through Vitality
- Cash plan through Medicash
- EAP scheme (open to family members)
- Enhanced wellbeing and family-friendly policies
- Salary sacrifice pension through NEST
- Hybrid working – we trust you to know where you do your best work
- Free fruit, drinks and regular freebie lunches
- CSR events and summer and winter colleague celebrations
- A people-focused, collaborative culture that makes coming to work genuinely worth it
