Job description

Are you a Construction Solicitor considering the next phase of your career? If so read on....

Our client, a well-placed commercial practice based in Leeds City Centre, is looking for a Construction Lawyer to work within a highly experienced team across the North of England. They have a strong presence within the sector and undertake both private and public sector work, with a reach that is both national and international. Many of their clients are employers, but they also have a few sizeable contractor clients.

The team advises on all aspects of Construction work. While many of their lawyers undertake a combined contentious and non-contentious workload, they are happy to speak to candidates who focus on non-contentious work or have combined contentious and non-contentious experience.

Within this growing team, you would have plenty of opportunities for client contact, as well as strong support in building both your technical and soft skills. Surrounded by a successful team within a highly successful office, you would also be able to get involved in wider office activities, whether they be social, CSR, or business-related.

With hybrid working firmly established, they also have a flexible approach, providing you with every opportunity to succeed and progress within your role while balancing any outside interests or needs.

This firm has a great culture, and this role presents the opportunity to be part of their next wave of development—it's an exciting time for them.

Knowing that this is a challenging area to recruit into, they are happy to consider lawyers at different levels of experience; however, their ideal candidate would have approximately 3 to 6 years of experience.
