Job description

Senior Associate | Non-Contentious Construction

Major projects. Meaningful clients. A platform to build your career.


We're currently working with a highly regarded national law firm that is looking to strengthen its Construction team with the appointment of 2 or more Senior or Principal Associates focused on non-contentious construction and projects work.


This is an opportunity to join a team that is involved in some genuinely significant projects across the UK, advising clients from project inception through to delivery and beyond. The work is complex, varied and often sits at the heart of critical infrastructure, healthcare, housing and public sector developments.


If you're looking for a role where you'll be trusted with responsibility, exposed to high-profile projects and given the opportunity to build lasting client relationships, this is one worth exploring.


The Opportunity


The team advises a broad range of public and private sector clients on the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure projects. Their work spans healthcare, local government, emergency services, housing and wider public infrastructure, acting on matters that have real impact on communities across the country.


You'll work alongside recognised specialists in the sector, advising on major projects, procurement structures, development agreements and operational matters. The team is also recognised for its expertise in long-term infrastructure arrangements and complex public sector projects.

This role offers a genuine opportunity to become a trusted adviser to clients while developing your own profile within the market.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Advising clients on a broad range of non-contentious construction matters
  • Drafting, negotiating and advising on construction and project documentation
  • Working on major development, infrastructure and public sector projects
  • Advising on NEC and JCT contracts and associated project documentation
  • Supporting clients through the full lifecycle of projects from procurement through to delivery
  • Building strong relationships with clients across healthcare, housing, local government and emergency services sectors
  • Collaborating with partners and colleagues on business development initiatives
  • Helping grow existing client relationships and identify new opportunities


What They're Looking For

  • Strong experience in non-contentious construction law
  • Excellent drafting and negotiation skills
  • Experience advising on NEC and JCT contract suites
  • Exposure to infrastructure, projects or PFI work would be advantageous
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to deliver practical, solutions-focused advice
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • A collaborative mindset combined with the confidence to work autonomously
  • Genuine enthusiasm for business development and profile building


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Exposure to nationally significant projects and infrastructure work
  • High-quality clients across both public and private sectors
  • Genuine responsibility and client contact
  • Hybrid working and flexible approach to working
  • Strong progression opportunities within a growing team
  • Collaborative culture with a focus on development and long-term careers


This is an excellent opportunity for a Construction lawyer who wants to work on high-profile projects, build their market presence and join a team with a strong reputation and ambitious plans for growth.
