Job Description & How to Apply Below

We're looking for an Associate General Counsel to lead contract negotiation and risk management for our design and construction projects. In this role, you'll negotiate complex design-build and engineer-procure-construct (EPC) contracts, serve as trusted project counsel to our teams, and help resolve disputes practically and proactively — all in service of the trust our clients place in our firm. You'll also assist with the management of our professional liability, builder's risk, and construction-specific insurance program, and handle risk management, licensing, and corporate governance strategy across our architecture, engineering, and construction management entities.

This is a high‑visibility role for an experienced construction/AEC attorney who wants to work closely with executive leadership and project teams, not just review paper from the sidelines.

What You'll Do Contracts & Negotiation
  • Review and negotiate design, EPC, design-build, and construction management contracts
  • Draft and modify AIA, EJCDC, Consensus Docs, DBIA, and owner-drafted forms
  • Lead negotiations with Executive Team, Project Leadership, and Procurement
  • Maintain the firm's contract and template library
Risk Management & Strategy
  • Shape risk mitigation strategy with the Project Team
  • Advise on project selection risk and delivery methodology
  • Support business development through proactive contract terms and direct client engagement
Project Support & Dispute Resolution
  • Guide teams through the project lifecycle — kickoff to close‑out
  • Manage disputes: client discussions, liens, mediation, arbitration, litigation, settlements
  • Coordinate with insurers and outside counsel
What You'll Bring
  • JD from an accredited law school
  • Licensed to practice in at least one U.S. state
