Senior Associate, Construction Disputes
6 days ago
Ankura is a team of excellence founded on innovation and growth.
This position supports the Construction Disputes and Advisory practice - one of seven practices focused on client delivery services across the Firm.
Ankura is recognised as one of the five fastest growing consulting companies with 2000 employees across 30 offices in four continents, providing a range of advisory and expert services to the private and public sector.
We are looking for a ‘rising star’ to complement our talented team of delay experts. Our construction dispute resolution professionals provide expert advice and independent professional opinion on some of the world’s largest, most complex, and high-profile capital project disputes. Courts, corporations, and tribunals rely on us to get to the nub of the issue in any given dispute. We develop efficient and robust delay analyses and present our conclusions in a clear, concise, and objective manner to enable the resolution of complex disputes.
You will have the opportunity to work with highly reputable, specialist expert witnesses, recognised by Who’s Who Legal (Lexology). You will be part of a talented team of experts working on some of the world’s most interesting and significant project disputes.
We’re looking for bright and ambitious individuals to join our Singapore-based delay team. As a Senior Associate, you will assist in the preparation of pre-dispute advice, litigation support and expert witness testimony, claims assessment and schedule analysis. You will be able to perform data research, management, and analysis. You will support the appointed expert in preparing and presenting results to our clients and tribunals. You will be prepared to spend short stints abroad based on the location of our international clients.
Your strong academic track record is a given, you will be working towards or have recently achieved chartered status and have significant practical experience. Experience performing analysis on dispute related assignments would be considered an advantage but is not essential, as would a post-graduate degree in a construction law or management discipline.
