Job Details


This dynamic and forward-thinking West End law firm is growing across multiple practice areas owing to their continued success, which has multiplied year after year. Construction and real estate work is at the heart of what they do, and they are looking to expand the team with the addition of a construction solicitor (1-4PQE).

They are offering the opportunity to work with first-rate clients while also maintaining a healthy work-life balance with very reasonable expectations and hybrid working between the office and from home.

The Firm

This boutique commercial law firm is seeing substantial growth, which has resulted in them acquiring more space to facilitate further development across their office. They have an outstanding reputation nationwide; they invest heavily in their staff and boast an innovative and forward-thinking approach to their work.

Over the last two decades, they have earned the loyalty of some of the most respected companies and private individuals in business. Today the firm has a particular reputation for their work in the fields of real estate, retail, brands, and luxury.

They attract some of the city's leading lawyers seeking a more relaxed environment; they are incredibly entrepreneurial and creative and offer a good level of flexibility to staff. They have a human feel throughout, and there is a true collegiate atmosphere.

The Role

This is an exciting role for a Construction Solicitor 1-4 PQE to join this leading West End firm, which is gaining an impressive reputation in the market.

Construction is a highly important area for the firm given the work they do in the real estate sector more generally. This role will involve working with a highly experienced partner and senior associate with support.

To be successful in this role, you must have non-contentious, transactional experience with 1-4 years' PQE - experience in contentious construction matters would also be an advantage, but is not a prerequisite so please apply if you are interested and specialising in non-contentious work.

You will need to bring specific experience in JCT contracts, warranties, joint ventures, developments, property contracts, forward funding agreements, and transactions with interaction between the property owner, constructers, and third parties.

Ideally, you will also have a detailed working understanding of development agreements.

The role is to support the partner and senior associate in the team to enable them to continue to develop the growing department/team, which means the opportunity to progress and develop within a growing environment is a key factor to consider in favour of this position.
Requirements:

  • You will be a construction solicitor with 1-4 years PQE.
  • Good technical knowledge specific to construction law.
  • Salaries will be highly competitive (negotiable depending on your level of experience), plus you'll receive an excellent benefits package.


This is an exciting opportunity for a construction solicitor to join this entrepreneurial and thriving firm based in the heart of London's West End.

Apply now for immediate consideration, or feel free to give me a call for a confidential conversation.
