Colin Jones

Partner, Head of Construction and Engineering

Why choose me

Construction plays a huge, positive role in the economy by enabling employment across the supply chain. As a construction lawyer, I am proud to play my part in a sector which is taking a leading role in a zero-carbon future as well as supporting economic growth.

I work with a range of clients including contractors, consultants, manufacturers, funders, research bodies, and educational institutions. Whichever one I’m working with, I operate on absolute client focus. You will always come first in all of my advice, guidance, and work.

I am a very experienced lawyer, which gives me a lot of pragmatism when saying it how it is, and I know the importance of being responsive and acting quickly in real estate. I pride myself on client care and making sure you have a positive experience.

My work ranges from producing construction agreements and terms of engagement, advising on public procurement and dispute resolution. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, eating good food, and being in my garden.
