"A very strong construction
practice" – Chambers UK
We are looking for a Senior Associate to join our Band 1 rated
Construction team in Bristol. From a very well regarded base in the South West,
our hugely experienced construction and engineering team is firmly rooted
throughout the UK and beyond, taking advantage of a strong overseas network
across our international offices. This is a great opportunity to join a market
leading team and have a broad and exciting workload for clients who are leaders
in their fields.
The practice
Our
non-contentious construction practice is truly comprehensive in scope and
features leading work on a national scale and is a practice that the firm is
actively looking to expand to compliment and support Osborne Clarke's strategic
direction.
We
advise on nationally important infrastructure projects, such as energy
generation (primarily through renewable sources), regeneration and iconic
development projects, mixed use and residential development, commercial and
logistics projects and major retail developments.
Our
work ranges from initial procurement advice, legal project management, through
to negotiating complex construction procurement agreements, whether bespoke or
based on the myriad of industry standard forms commonly used in the UK, and
whether leading or working alongside other advisers. We also work closely with
our contentious construction, major projects, renewables, commercial real
estate and banking and project finance teams.
We
advise clients across a number of sectors who are leaders in their fields,
including GLP, Foresight, RWE, Hochtief, Arlington, UPP, Pario, Amey, Greystar,
Indurent, Cubex Land, Barratt and David Wilson Homes, Taylor Wimpey, InfraRed,
Vistry Group, Octopus, Equitix, NGED, Conrad, Bluefield and Downing.
The team
"They are a tightly knit
unit. Their pragmatic advice is very good and it is also timely." –

which will have been gained at a well-respected City or National firm. You will
be highly motivated and interested in getting involved in a broad range of work
working on different project types and across different sectors. You will be
versatile and able to work across a range of different matters across different
sectors and will be used to working on matters where there are multiple
interested parties (for example where there are forward funding arrangements or
there is a project finance-led structure involved). Due to the nature of the
work and the structure of the team, we are looking for a Senior Associate
candidate, although we will consider candidates with more or less experience.
