Job Description:
My client is a high-profile, award-winning, global construction and engineering consultancy with offices in central Newcastle. There is currently an opportunity for a senior lawyer (5+ PQE to senior) seeking an in-house role with a focus on construction law, especially related to major contracts such as consultancy agreements and building contracts. While the core work is non-contentious construction, there will also be exposure to general commercial contracts, GDPR, IPR, commercial litigation, and professional indemnity insurance, though no previous experience in these areas is required.
The successful candidate will work with the global business, reviewing contractual documentation, providing advice, engaging in negotiations, and advising on risk management. This role involves significant responsibility within an experienced team.
This position is suitable for private practice construction lawyers with solid non-contentious construction experience.
Hybrid working arrangements are available. The role is open only to solicitors qualified in England and Wales who live within daily commuting distance of Newcastle upon Tyne.
An attractive package is offered, tailored to the level of the successful lawyer, along with the opportunity to work in a collaborative and high-performing legal team.
To learn more, please send your CV to Adele Callaghan, including your current remuneration details, or contact me for a discussion about the role.
