Job description

Senior Construction Lawyer (Non-Contentious)

£150,000 - £200,000++ DOE

Office in London and Bristol. Can work remotely.

This role will allow you to push forward into an exciting landscape that will open up for you. There is not this kind of genuine freedom elsewhere.

Remote Working

Provided clients needs and wants are met, the option to work remotely is supported. There are no set number of office days. The office is in London and the Head of Construction lives in Bristol. So, if you wanted some time with the team in-person, the HoD would be happy to meet in Bristol on occasion. Or, you can attend the London office when you wish.

The Team & Firm

You will be involved in matters on par with Top 50 firms and Top Tier Construction teams in London.

If you are a 6+ PQE non-contentious construction lawyer who thrives on complex, high-impact work — but could do without the hierarchy, politics, and burnout of Big Law — this is for you.

This firm doesn’t do generic. They are a specialist construction team known for handling some of the most bespoke, technically rich significant projects in the UK. You will be working on the other side to Top Tier Construction Lawyers.

You will work directly with a nationally recognised Partner- a genuine expert who values collaboration, a high standard of work and client service. The team are the coming name in construction, taking work away from some of the best construction teams in London.

As well as being a construction lawyer who works to a high standard, the team look for engaging, down-to-earth people who work well in a team.

What makes this different?

• Work on projects you'd expect at a Top 50 firm, without the bureaucracy or internal politics.
• This is a close-knit, high-performing team that thrives on quality. Everyone is trusted, respected, and supported to do their best work.
• Remote working, with a London equivalent salary.
