Job Description

A leading UK law firm is seeking a talented construction lawyer to join its highly regarded team, working on a broad range of non-contentious matters for an impressive client base, including household names.
Your new role
You will advise on a diverse mix of development and infrastructure projects, real estate and corporate acquisitions/disposals, property finance, and process plant contracts. Working closely with a collaborative team, you will play a key role in delivering exceptional client service and supporting the continued growth and success of the practice.

• Supporting clients on major projects from inception to completion, including de-risking strategies and procurement advice.
• Opportunity to mentor and support junior team members.
• While the focus is on non-contentious work, candidates interested in a mix of contentious and non-contentious matters are encouraged to apply.

What you'll need to succeed

• Qualified solicitor (England & Wales) with significant experience in non-contentious construction law.
• Demonstrable expertise in standard forms of construction contracts and associated project documentation.
• Background in either private practice or industry (in-house experience with major industry players is welcomed).
• Strong commercial acumen and excellent client relationship skills.
• Team player with a collaborative approach and a desire to contribute to a high-performing national team.

What you'll get in return

• Competitive remuneration
• Comprehensive and flexible benefits package
• Supportive and inclusive culture
• Opportunities for career progression and professional development
