Job Description:

My client, a leading global law firm, is seeking an experienced Construction Disputes Lawyer to join their highly respected Birmingham team at Principal Associate level. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a senior role within a firm known for handling some of the most significant and complex disputes in the market. You’ll be advising major national and international clients – including governments, public bodies, and multinational contractors – on large-scale infrastructure and energy projects. The work is intellectually stimulating, commercially focused, and rarely 'business as usual'. From early strategic advice through to full-blown adjudication, litigation, and arbitration, this team is right at the cutting edge.

Job Responsibility:

  • Advising major national and international clients including governments, public bodies, and multinational contractors on large-scale infrastructure and energy projects
  • Providing early strategic advice through to full-blown adjudication, litigation, and arbitration
  • Contributing to business development and team strategy

Requirements:

  • 7+ years’ PQE in contentious construction (or a strong mix of contentious and non-contentious)
  • Deep technical knowledge and commercial awareness
  • A confident leader, capable of managing matters and mentoring junior lawyers
  • Someone driven to contribute to business development and long-term team strategy
What we offer:
  • Top-tier work
  • Excellent benefits
  • Genuinely supportive and collaborative culture
  • Flexibility
  • Investments in your career development
