Recent work highlights:

The role
The precise scope of the role will depend on experience. Junior lawyers will work closely with senior colleagues on major matters and build responsibility over time. More experienced associates will run matters with decreasing levels of supervision, manage client relationships and supervise junior lawyers.
Across all levels, the role includes drafting and negotiating construction documentation, advising on risk allocation, and supporting clients through the full lifecycle of major projects.
