If it did, it would go against everything we stand for.

If it means something to us, we take the time to get it right. And our people mean everything to us. We don't just say it; we are building a business on the back of it.

We are looking for people who are excited by the possibility of tomorrow. A new journey. Something truly different. Exploring with people driven to push the boundaries and see what is over the horizon.

Your Opportunity
We are transforming the way projects are delivered but we need people with amazing skills, relevant knowledge and a burning belief that the better way is out there ready to be discovered.

We want individuals who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo, who embrace the tough moments and see them as opportunities to innovate and grow.

If you're ready to push the boundaries, work alongside a team that shares your drive, and take on a role where you can make a real impact, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We don't track time, or have a billable hour target, we back you to deliver. Just as our clients do.

You, Your Skills And Experience
We want good humans.

Good humans are people that are interested, accountable, driven to make their world a better one and want to do it with others.

You are curiously-minded, technically brilliant, and have:

• Been admitted as a lawyer and practised either inhouse or in private practice (ideally both) for more than 5 years.
• Experience in construction law, project advisory, or dispute resolution – or strong commercial law experience, with a genuine passion for construction & projects.
• Strong expertise drafting and negotiating contracts – ideally including construction contracts, bespoke agreements and deeds.
• Experience advising contractors, subcontractors, and principals (ideally including government and private sector clients).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess complex factual and contractual situations.
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills, with experience engaging with senior executives, clients, and industry experts.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple projects simultaneously.

You are already excited, but what else does our team bring to the table?

• Be part of a supportive and high-performing team, with exciting clients and high-quality work.
• Flexible working arrangements to help you be a good human.
• Competitive remuneration, including equity opportunities through our Group's Equity plan and profit sharing arrangements.
• An extra week of leave as part of our employee personal development program – because we believe in investing in you.
• A fun, collaborative environment with regular social events, training days, and team retreats. We take pride in our culture
