Legal Counsel - Construction
Location: London / Hybrid
We're partnering with a leading international construction and infrastructure business to appoint a Legal Counsel into its established in-house legal team.
The role supports a broad portfolio of construction and infrastructure projects across the UK, working closely with commercial, procurement, and project delivery teams throughout the project lifecycle.
You'll advise on contractual, commercial, and risk-related matters from tender stage through to project completion, supporting stakeholders across the business on day-to-day project delivery and strategic initiatives.
The position would suit a construction lawyer looking to move in-house, or an existing in-house lawyer seeking broader project exposure within a large-scale construction environment.
