My client is a leading airports group who are looking for an experienced construction lawyer to join their in-house legal team and take a lead on all construction related legal matters.

Reporting into the General Counsel, the role will provide legal advice, primarily to the Construction team, Procurement and the wider business as required, in respect of construction and commercial matters of significant value and complexity.

The successful candidate will have at least 8 years' post-qualified experience gained in construction law, acquired in private practice and/or within an in-house legal team.
