- Providing strategic advice on procurement structures, pre-construction agreements, and letters of intent.
- Working closely with colleagues across real estate, planning, and corporate teams to deliver seamless, joined-up client service.
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and professional teams across the property and construction sectors.
About You
- Qualified solicitor with 2-6 years' PQE gained at a recognised City, West End, or leading regional firm.
- Experience in non-contentious construction law, ideally with exposure to real estate development projects.
- Strong technical drafting skills and a practical, solutions-focused approach.
- Confident communicator who enjoys working collaboratively and building client relationships.
Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a firm where quality of work, professional development, and work-life balance genuinely go hand in hand. You'll work on some of the most interesting and varied development schemes in the market from major mixed-use and regeneration projects to luxury residential and hospitality developments while benefiting from the mentorship of highly experienced partners and a down-to-earth, inclusive culture.
The firm offers competitive remuneration, a clear progression structure, and genuine flexibility to support your long-term career goals.
