Job description

Non-Contentious Construction Legal Director | Manchester | Leading International Firm


At this level, you are not just leading transactions. You are helping to lead a practice, shaping its direction, developing its people, and acting as a trusted strategic adviser to clients whose projects define skylines, infrastructure, and the energy transition. The Manchester construction team at this leading international firm is looking for a Legal Director who is ready for that breadth of responsibility and who sees a clear line from here to partnership.


The opportunity

You will operate at a senior strategic level within the non-contentious team, working alongside partners to drive the continued growth and profile of the Manchester practice. You will own key client relationships, lead on the most complex and high-value procurement and contract matters, and act as a senior point of contact for developers, contractors, funders, and public bodies. You will also play a central role in business development, from identifying opportunities and leading pitches to representing the firm at industry events and in the legal directories.


The work

Your caseload will be weighted towards the strategic and the complex. You will lead on:

  • Drafting, negotiating, and advising on the most complex JCT, NEC, and bespoke contracts, alongside associated appointments, warranties, and ancillary documentation
  • Risk allocation, sustainability requirements, and net zero considerations that are increasingly central to modern construction projects
  • Multi-jurisdictional mandates, working closely with colleagues across the firm's international offices in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia
  • Knowledge leadership, contributing to training, precedents, and the firm's wider construction know-how


About you

You are a non-contentious construction lawyer with significant experience at a recognised practice, and you are already operating at or close to Legal Director level.
