It’s our goal to make you feel great about working with us, and we work hard to cultivate a culture that encourages long-term commitment.

We work flexibly and you’ll be empowered to work where you do your best work, balancing your individual needs with the need for team engagement and excellent client service.

Most of our people choose to work in a hybrid fashion, combining remote work with occasional office attendance. Our offices are located in Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Southampton, and Taunton.

Day-to-day, you’ll be successful in this role by:

We are seeking an Associate/Senior Associate non-contentious construction lawyer to join our national Construction team. The team acts for a diverse range of clients on a variety of projects across sectors including retail, energy, and finance. This role offers involvement in high-quality, complex work, providing a solid foundation in construction and engineering contracts and valuable experience.

You will be based in a supportive and friendly team, working closely with partners and other lawyers within and outside the team, providing a well-rounded perspective. You will engage in various types of work and have opportunities to develop expertise in key sectors. Although your base location will be in one of our offices, you will have the chance to work with the wider non-contentious construction team across the country.

Business development is a key part of this role, and you will be encouraged to participate in networking and marketing activities. We are highly sector and client-focused, so building relationships within the business community and understanding client needs will be integral to your role at Clarke Willmott.

It is essential that you comply with information security policies and all firm procedures.

This role is right for you if:

You demonstrate talent, ambition, and a genuine interest in non-contentious construction work, with the potential to become a prominent figure in the field.

We value hardworking team players and foster a positive culture that promotes work-life balance. While meeting deadlines is important, we believe that long hours are neither healthy nor conducive to excellent client service. We seek well-rounded individuals and teams, aligned with our clients’ expectations.

What we can offer you:

A career at Clarke Willmott is distinct from other law firms. We celebrate individual differences and diversity, united by shared values and mutual respect. Working with us, you will feel empowered, valued, and free to be yourself in a supportive environment.

We expect dedication and sometimes an extra effort, but in return, you will be rewarded with a comprehensive range of flexible benefits.
