Handle construction disputes from initial instruction through to resolution.

Excellent drafting and negotiation skills.


Strong commercial awareness.


The ability to manage matters independently.


Excellent communication and client relationship skills.


A collaborative approach and willingness to support colleagues.


An interest in contributing to the continued growth of the department.



Why Join?


Construction continues to be one of the firm's strategic growth areas, with significant investment being made into the department and its long-term development.


Rather than joining a static team, you will have the opportunity to influence its future direction whilst working alongside experienced lawyers on high-quality matters.


The firm combines the quality of work associated with larger commercial practices with the accessibility, flexibility and supportive culture of a successful regional firm.


If you are looking for a role where your ideas are welcomed, your contribution genuinely matters and your career can continue to progress, this represents an outstanding opportunity.


Career Prospects


This is a long-term strategic appointment within a growing specialist team.


As the Construction department continues to expand, there will be genuine opportunities to increase your responsibility, develop your own client following, mentor junior lawyers and play a significant role in shaping the future of the practice. xwwtmva
