Construction Solicitor

Construction Solicitor (2-4 PQE)

A leading Legal 500 firm is growing its Construction team, based in the City, working closely with the partner across a busy and varied caseload.

The team advises on construction matters connected to real estate, development and finance transactions, and the work spans both the contentious and non-contentious sides of the practice. You won't be pigeonholed into one type of work — you'll get involved in contracts, disputes, and everything in between.

The Role

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating construction contracts, both standard form and bespoke
• Construction due diligence on real estate, development and finance deals
• Drafting collateral warranties, professional appointments, sub-contracts and other project documents
• Advising on live projects, covering contractual interpretation, risk and dispute avoidance
• Involvement in adjudication, arbitration, litigation and TCC proceedings as they arise
• Working with colleagues in Real Estate, Real Estate Finance, Dispute Resolution and Corporate to give clients joined-up advice

There's direct client contact from early on, and the scope to take real ownership of matters rather than just supporting from the sidelines.

Requirements

This role would suit a solicitor 2-4 PQE in construction law. You should be comfortable with JCT and NEC contracts (FIDIC is a plus but not essential), a confident drafter, well organised, and able to manage a busy workload without losing attention to detail.

Just as important is how you work with people — clients, contractors, consultants, lenders — so someone personable and commercially switched-on, not just technically strong.

What’s on Offer

The firm offers a platform for a Construction Solicitor to join a growing department, including:

• A highly competitive salary
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangement
• High quality work alongside

This is an excellent opportunity for a Construction Solicitor looking to join a growing construction department, based in the city.
