Construction Solicitor

A leading full-service commercial firm in Leeds is looking to recruit a Construction Associate (1-5 PQE) to join its growing specialist Construction team.

This is a key hire as the team continues to expand its offering within a well-established and highly regarded Real Estate practice.

The Team

The Construction team currently comprises a Partner, two Senior Associates, two consultants and a Paralegal. Notably, both Senior Associates have rejoined the firm after spending time elsewhere, which speaks strongly to the quality of work, culture and long-term opportunities on offer.

The team advises on both contentious and non-contentious construction matters and has a strong pipeline of work across a range of sectors.

The Role

You will advise clients on a broad range of construction matters, which may include:

• Drafting and negotiating construction contracts and associated documentation

• Advising on procurement strategies and project risk

• Handling construction disputes, including adjudication, litigation and other forms of dispute resolution

• Working closely with colleagues across Real Estate, Corporate and Litigation teams on multi-disciplinary matters

The team can accommodate candidates with a contentious, non-contentious or mixed background. The key requirement is genuine construction specialism and high-quality experience.

The Candidate

• 1-5 years' PQE in construction law

• Strong technical grounding in either contentious, non-contentious or both

• Experience gained within a recognised construction practice

• Commercial, pragmatic approach and strong drafting skills

• Ambitious and keen to be part of a growing team

This is an excellent opportunity for a construction specialist looking to develop their career within a collaborative, ambitious and well-regarded Leeds firm.
