There’s also a great sense of balance here—you’ll enjoy a supportive and inclusive culture where progression is genuinely encouraged. The team is known for investing in their people, offering fantastic training and the chance to work alongside some of the most respected names in the field.

Who would suit this role?

Whether you're a recently qualified solicitor with a year or so of PQE or a seasoned senior associate looking for a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you. Ideally, you’ll bring experience in non-contentious construction, gained at a reputable firm, and a strong academic background. Equally important is your enthusiasm for this area of law and a client-focused, proactive approach.
