Senior Associate – Construction

About the Role

Our client is seeking a Senior Associate to join their expanding Construction team. This role is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced solicitor to work on complex transactions, lead client negotiations, and help shape the future of the team.

As part of a highly skilled and ambitious group, you’ll work with clients from a range of industries, including commercial, education, local authorities, housing, and development. You’ll also play a key role in business development and have the opportunity to grow and lead a contentious practice—though a purely non-contentious specialist would also be considered.

Key Responsibilities

✔ Provide expert non-contentious construction advice, including drafting and negotiating standard form contracts (JCT, NEC), consultants’ appointments, and warranties.
✔ Work closely with the Head of Construction to drive strategy and team growth.
✔ Support clients in real estate, corporate, and finance transactions.
✔ Lead on contract interpretation, dispute avoidance, and complex development agreements.
✔ Build strong client relationships and contribute to business development.

What We’re Looking For

📌 5-10 years PQE in Construction Law.
📌 Strong experience in non-contentious construction is essential.
📌 Contentious construction experience would be a bonus, but not required.
📌 Ability to manage multiple projects and lead negotiations.
📌 A commercial mindset and willingness to attend networking events.

What’s in It for You?

Flexible working: Hybrid options available.
Health & Wellbeing: Yoga, wellbeing events, and an on-site chiropractor.
Career Growth: Promotion opportunities twice a year.
Amazing perks: Free chef-prepared lunches (Mon & Tues), cycle-to-work scheme, pension

💡 If you’re looking for a role where you can make an impact, grow your career, and be part of something exciting, this could be the perfect fit!
