The role

London | 1–5 Years’ PQE | Hybrid Working

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Associate Solicitor with 1–5 years’ PQE to join a highly regarded and growing Non-Contentious Construction team at a leading London law firm.

This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside recognised specialists on high-quality construction matters, advising an impressive client base that includes developers, contractors, consultants, funds, high-net-worth individuals and major institutions.

About You

The successful candidate will ideally have:

  • 1–5 years’ PQE in non-contentious construction.

  • Experience gained within a reputable UK private practice firm.

  • A strong real estate construction background, rather than a focus on energy, projects or infrastructure.

  • The ability to manage a varied workload, prioritise effectively and work to demanding deadlines.

  • Excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.

  • A proactive, collaborative and commercially minded approach.

Experience advising on pre-contract documentation, such as letters of intent and pre-construction agreements, would be advantageous but is not essential.

The Opportunity

You will join a successful and well-established team with an excellent reputation in the market, working on complex, high-value matters for an impressive range of clients.

The firm offers a supportive and collaborative working environment, with opportunities for professional development, cross-departmental collaboration and involvement in wider community and pro bono initiatives.

What's on Offer?

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • Hybrid working.

  • High-quality work and an impressive client base.

  • Excellent opportunities for career progression and professional development.

  • Supportive and collaborative team environment.

  • The opportunity to work alongside recognised leaders in the field.

If you are a Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor looking to take the next step in your career within a highly regarded London practice, we would be delighted to hear from you.
