Job description

Overview

An established and forward-thinking UK law firm is expanding its national Construction practice and seeking to make a senior strategic hire for Construction in Bristol. This is a rate and exciting opportunity to shape and grow a regional construction presence for a national team that already has a strong reputation across London, the East of England, and beyond. The firm is very keen to hear from senior construction solicitors who are open to relocation for the opportunity of Partnership and true autonomy in building a team around you.

The position is available at either Director or Equity Partnership level.

This senior construction hire will play a key role in building and leading the construction team in Bristol, with support from an established and highly ranked national group. The role can be tailored to suit specialists in either contentious or non-contentious construction law, though a blended skill-set is preferred.

Why Apply?

• Due to this being a key area of growth, a client following/book of business is not a pre-requisite for this hire
• You only get one shot at being first, and this means you will have true autonomy and final say when it comes to growing this team around you
• Brand new office, in one of the fastest growing legal centres outside of London
• Top quality teams around you from some of the biggest City firms, to leverage client relationships from
• Genuine investment from the firm to build this from grass roots up

Ideal Candidate

• Ideally over 10 years PQE with experience in either contentious or non-contentious construction law
• Adept at building and maintaining strong client relationships
• Ambitious, driven and looking to take charge of their career
• Keen to grow a high-performing specialist construction team in Bristol

In order to support the relocation of you (and any family) the firm are willing to offer a relocation package, to support with moving costs/relocation fees. The amount on offer is open due to this being a key strategic hire.

In addition, you'll be offered a hugely competitive salary and benefits package if Legal Director level, or bespoke remuneration equity offer for Partners.
