UK-qualified Construction Solicitor

Job description

What if your next construction role came with a firm embracing a business-focused approach rather than the traditional partnership model, giving you greater access to high-quality work and rather interestingly, no individual billing target, allowing you to focus on the work rather than your chargeable hours?

I’m working with a highly entrepreneurial and growing law firm on an opportunity for a 0-6 PQE Construction Lawyer to join an established and busy team, working closely with a high-profile Partner.

The role offers a genuinely varied practice across contentious and non-contentious construction, with the opportunity to take on responsibility and develop your expertise across a broad range of work.

Why consider the firm?

• A business-focused model with a more entrepreneurial approach than the traditional partnership structure
• No individual billing targets allowing you to focus on delivering excellent work rather than chasing chargeable hours
• Access to high-quality and varied construction work
• The opportunity to work closely with a high-profile and highly regarded Partner
• A modern, commercial and collaborative environment
• A growing and ambitious business with genuine opportunities to progress

The ideal candidate

• UK-qualified Construction Solicitor with 0-6 PQE
• Experience in non-contentious and/or contentious construction, with exposure to both particularly attractive
• Someone who feels they aren't currently getting the quality, breadth or level of responsibility they are capable of
• Commercially minded and interested in working in a business-focused and entrepreneurial environment
• Ambitious, proactive and keen to take the next step in their career
• Someone who wants to work closely with an experienced Partner and play an important role within a growing practice
• A strong communicator who enjoys building relationships with clients and colleagues

If you're a construction lawyer who feels ready for more and whether that's better quality work, greater responsibility or simply a different way of working, I would love to hear from you.
