Job Description
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.
