Job Details

Legal 500 London
Head of Department
Construction Law
London West End


My client is looking to take on either a partner or senior associate to head the construction department within the disputes team.

The successful candidate will take on several existing non-contentious client relationships, along with the expectation of creating new business opportunities for the firm. Having an existing following would be preferable but not essential.
You will work closely with the partners of the team, to build a supportive and engaging work environment for you and your colleagues in Construction, and with the wider Disputes and Regulatory teams.

The Construction team's turnover is generated primarily from London and international clients as well as established regional clients.
They handle construction matters, whether dispute related or non-contentious projects, of significant value (frequently upwards of £5m).
The team also works in niche areas, such as drafting and implementing compliance procedures for construction companies in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010 and work in the Highways and Street Lighting Maintenance Sector.

* You will have at least 10 years PQE or more
* Has a proven track record in construction at an established firm or in house;
* Has significant experience in dealing with all aspects of construction contract drafting and non-contentious project and procurement work (including NEC/ECC and ideally also international projects and the FIDIC contract suite);
* Has an enthusiasm to lead marketing initiatives;
* Has the skills needed to win new clients and form longstanding relationships. A strong existing network or following would be highly desirable but not essential;
* Can demonstrate leadership skills and experience of people management, together with a keen interest in developing yourself as a leader; and
* Is confident yet approachable.
