Job description

A highly regarded national legal practice is continuing to invest in and grow its Construction offering, and we are now looking to speak with established Construction Partners with a strong following across Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham.

This is a genuine lateral opportunity for Partners who have built a successful practice and are looking for a platform that can support the next stage of their growth.

The Construction team is already thriving, with an established national client base and a strong pipeline of work. The wider business also has considerable strength across Real Estate, Development, Dispute Resolution and other complementary areas, creating plenty of opportunity for cross-referral and collaboration.

The opportunity

The firm is open to both contentious and non-contentious Construction Partners, with particular interest in individuals who have:

• An established and transferable client following
• A strong reputation within the Construction market
• A proven track record of generating their own work
• A desire to continue growing their practice
• Strong client relationships across developers, contractors, funders, investors or other construction-sector businesses

For contentious Construction Partners, relevant experience could include adjudication, TCC litigation, arbitration, professional negligence, contractual disputes and other complex construction disputes.

For non-contentious Partners, the firm would be interested in lawyers with a strong practice across construction contracts, development projects, procurement, infrastructure, major projects or related transactional work.

Why consider the move?

This is not an opportunity to simply join an existing team and maintain the status quo.

The wider business has been going through a period of sustained growth and has continued to make strategic lateral hires across its key practice areas. The firm has a sizeable national platform while retaining a relatively entrepreneurial and commercially focused feel, giving Partners the infrastructure and support of a larger practice without necessarily the bureaucracy that can come with it.

There is also a strong built environment offering around the Construction team, with established Real Estate and Development practices and complementary contentious expertise. This provides a natural platform for Partners to develop existing relationships and identify new opportunities across their client base.

The firm is particularly interested in speaking with established Partners who have ambitions to continue growing, rather than simply looking for a change of scenery.
