The Role

In a world where infrastructure, energy and development projects are becoming increasingly complex, fast-paced and globally connected, the role of a construction lawyer is evolving.

This is an opportunity to join a high-growth, nationally recognised Construction team, operating at the forefront of major UK developments. With continued investment and expansion, the team is building something for the next generation and you'll be part of that journey.
