Construction Solicitor

Construction (Non-Contentious) Solicitor

North East

I am working with a market leading North East practice based in Newcastle city centre who are looking for a Construction lawyer with circa 5 years PQE to join their expanding construction and engineering team.

You will be joining one of the pre-eminent firms in the region and in the North acting for high profile and large clients both regionally, nationally and internationally.

The firm have a unique Newcastle identity and it is known as being a great place to work, without compromising on absolute top end work for a range of high-profile clients and businesses.

The role is a non-contentious construction role and you will be dealing with the full remit of non-contentious matters from drafting both standard and bespoke construction contracts, procurement, and advising on expansion projects, developments and regeneration.

In terms of background you will be coming from a well respected construction team.  You will be competent to deal with the full range of industry form contracts documents (such as NEC and JCT), as well as advising on construction law and strategy in relation to claims and ideally, with experience in adjudications and dispute resolution in the Technology and Construction Court. 

The work and clients are high level and you are guaranteed to be joining a team that is a leading name in the provision of commercial advice in the North.

What sets this firm apart however is the genuine supportive environment and the relationship it has with the North East community. The Firm has consistently been ranked as one of the best places to work in the region and they have a strong focus of CSR and charity work.

Salary is highly competitive for the region with one of the best benefit packages on offer in private practice.
