Our construction law practice in Amsterdam is growing rapidly - and that is why we are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced construction law attorney who wants to help build a leading practice. In this role, you will work on challenging, high-quality files for, among others, property developers, contractors, clients, and advisors.

You advise on and litigate complex construction projects in, among others, renewable energy (wind and solar farms), infrastructure (highways, locks, rail), offices, retail, and industrial installations. You work with various national and international contract forms such as DBFM(O), UAV 2012, Design & Build (UAV‑GC 2025), and FIDIC. You litigate both before civil courts and in arbitration (NAI, ICC, and the Board of Arbitration for the Construction Industry).

You work in a specialized, ambitious, and close-knit team where quality, collaboration, and diversity are central.
