In House Construction Lawyer
Role Overview
A leading global organisation is seeking an experienced In House Construction Lawyer to lead all contract-related legal activity across the business. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused construction legal professional to join a business that genuinely prioritises its people, culture and long-term career development.
Working closely with senior stakeholders and operational teams, you will play a key role in drafting, negotiating and advising on a broad range of construction and commercial agreements, while helping to protect the business from contractual and commercial risk.
Candidate Profile / Experience Needed
The successful candidate will have strong experience within non-contentious construction law, either from private practice or an in-house environment, with the ability to confidently manage complex contractual matters from instruction through to completion.
Key experience includes:

- Ability to provide commercially focused legal advice to senior stakeholders
- Knowledge of governance, compliance and GDPR matters
- Experience drafting associated legal documentation including collateral warranties, novation agreements, NDAs, software licences and termination agreements
- Comfortable delivering guidance and training on contractual and legal matters
- A legal qualification is preferred but not essential; however, significant construction contracts experience is essential
This opportunity would suit a Construction Solicitor, Commercial Contracts Lawyer, Legal Counsel or experienced Contract Manager looking to move into, or further develop, their in-house legal career within a large and well-established organisation.
