The work focuses on advising property companies, real estate investors, public sector bodies, corporate occupiers and contractors on high value construction, engineering and infrastructure projects.
The team
Team members bring detailed industry knowledge, including experience of on site and off site project delivery.
Clients span development, funding, residential, retail and industrial sectors, along with large corporates, public sector organisations and major contractors.
The non contentious practice acts for developers, contractors and institutional investors. This provides exposure to complex projects across sectors such as real estate development, logistics, housing, infrastructure, energy, regeneration, healthcare, life sciences, government, hospitality, retail, leisure, building safety and alternative asset classes.
Recent work highlights:
- Acting as legal adviser on a major multi venue international sporting event, covering fit out, temporary works and utilities infrastructure

The role

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.
