Applicants should be Singapore or Commonwealth qualified lawyers (England & Wales / Australia / New Zealand) with at least 6 years' PQE and significant experience in both contentious and non-contentious construction matters. Strong exposure to arbitration is expected, together with the ability to manage complex disputes, lead matters, and support junior colleagues.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Acting on major construction disputes, litigation and international arbitrations.
• Advising on both contentious and non-contentious aspects of large-scale projects.
• Leading teams, mentoring junior lawyers and collaborating with senior colleagues.
• Building client relationships and contributing to business development initiatives.
• Delivering clear, strategic advice in high-pressure contexts.

This opportunity offers the chance to join a collaborative and close-knit team led by a partner consistently recognised as a market leader in construction disputes. The firm provides first-class resources, an established global platform, and a supportive environment in which to develop leadership and business development skills.
Singapore is a leading international financial centre and one of the most dynamic legal markets in Asia. With its strategic location, breadth of industry sectors and reputation for excellence, it offers lawyers the chance to develop their careers at the forefront of cross-border work while enjoying the advantages of living in a vibrant, world-class city.
