In-House Construction Lawyer
Role Overview
I'm working on an exciting opportunity for a junior to mid-level lawyer with experience in construction and building safety matters to join a specialist in-house legal team. This is a fantastic chance to work on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious construction issues, advising on large-scale remediation projects, building safety compliance, and complex property-related disputes. You'll collaborate closely with senior legal professionals and external advisers while gaining exposure to some of the most significant developments in the sector.
