Offer description

The Firm

Join a national firm known for high-quality work, a down-to-earth, friendly culture and exceptional lawyer retention. This team advises listed companies, large private developers, contractors, government agencies, GOCs and energy/resources clients. It's a genuinely stable practice - we rarely see lawyers leave (except to go in-house, overseas or top tier).


About the Role

This is a broad construction role with a primary focus on back end disputes, complemented by front end contract reviews and advisory work. You'll work closely with a respected Partner and multiple seniors in a large, well-resourced team.


Your work will include:

* Construction litigation and disputes;
* Security of payment matters and adjudication;
* Delay, variations, defect claims and contractual interpretation;
* Contract drafting, reviews and risk advice (front end component);
* Infrastructure, energy, resources and government projects;
* Working with multiple Partners across a high-performing practice.

This is a role where you get real responsibility at your level - with genuine support and high-end matters that rival the top tiers.


About You

You'll have:

* 2–10 years' PAE in construction law (back end, front end or mixed backgrounds considered);
* Experience managing files and building client relationships;
* Confidence working across a busy, collaborative team.

Backgrounds from construction, projects or commercial litigation are all suitable.


Benefits

* Major projects and complex construction disputes;
* Balanced mix of back end + front end advisory;
* Accessible, highly regarded partners and seniors;
* Clear progression in a merit-based environment;
* Competitive salary and strong firm culture.
