Are you a newly qualified or junior solicitor (NQ–3 PQE) with a passion for contentious construction law? This is a rare opportunity to join a nationally recognised team, consistently ranked in Legal 500 and Chambers, working on high-quality disputes and strategic advisory matters.

Why this role?
You’ll be part of a dynamic, supportive team led by a highly respected Partner, working with major developers, contractors, housebuilders, and housing associations. The work is varied and intellectually stimulating, including adjudications, litigation, mediation, and strategic dispute resolution. There’s also scope to get involved in non-contentious work if desired.

What’s in it for you?

  • Direct client contact and early responsibility
  • One-to-one mentoring and career development
  • A strong emphasis on work-life balance and positive culture
  • Opportunities for business development and networking
  • Flexible working arrangements

Who are we looking for? You’ll be a team player with ambition, commercial awareness, and a genuine interest in construction law. Whether you’ve spent a seat in a specialist construction team, undertaken a mix of contentious work including some with a construction focus or gained experience post-qualification, you’ll be ready to take the next step in your career.

The firm behind the role
This national law firm is known for its collaborative culture, sector focus, and commitment to helping its people thrive. You’ll be empowered to work flexibly, supported in your development, and rewarded with a comprehensive benefits package.
