Construction law sits at the intersection of project finance, regulatory compliance, and high-stakes dispute resolution — a practice area where the talent pool is deep but concentrated, and where the wrong hire carries consequences measured in delayed schedules and escalating claims. Sartori & Partners maps 3,000+ construction lawyers across the United States, giving us a precise picture of where this expertise actually resides and who is genuinely available to move.
The practitioners we track span the full project lifecycle: procurement and contract drafting, public-private partnerships, surety and bonding, defect litigation, delay and disruption claims, and the increasingly complex overlay of environmental and land-use regulation on major builds. We distinguish between lawyers who have handled a handful of construction matters and those whose practices are anchored in it.
When a firm or a company that operates in the built environment needs to strengthen its construction capability — whether at the associate, counsel or partner level — we search against a mapped market rather than a posted vacancy. That distinction is what separates a targeted search from a broadcast.

What specialisms within construction law do you recruit for?
Our market map covers the breadth of construction practice: front-end contract negotiation, public procurement and P3 structures, surety and performance bond work, and contentious matters including delay, disruption, defect and termination disputes. We recruit across all seniority levels and can target by specialism, sector focus or geographic market.
How do you find construction lawyers who are not actively looking?
Because we map the market continuously rather than responding to active candidate flow, we maintain visibility into practitioners who are performing well but not advertising availability. A significant share of the placements we make involve lawyers who were not on any job board — they were identified through our market intelligence and approached selectively.
Can you run a construction partner search at a firm that has an existing practice?
Yes, and lateral partner searches into an established group are among the most sensitive mandates we handle. We calibrate the search around practice fit, client portability, and team dynamics — and we conduct it discreetly, without signalling the mandate to the wider market before you are ready.
