Construction Solicitor

Leicester – £60,000 - £80,000

Construction Solicitor (3–6 PQE) – National Law Firm – Leicester
 
I'm working with a highly regarded national law firm that’s looking to strengthen its well-established Construction & Engineering team with the addition of a talented associate. This is an exciting opportunity based in the firm’s Leicester office and would suit a solicitor with 3–6 years’ post-qualification experience.
 
The role sits within a dynamic and growing team that handles a broad spectrum of construction work, spanning both contentious and non-contentious matters. You'll work closely with an experienced partner, gaining exposure to high-quality work and high-profile clients across various sectors.
 
This firm is known for its collaborative culture, national reach, and client base which includes developers, national housebuilders, contractors, consultants, and a wide range of commercial organisations. Their construction team is involved in both UK-based and international projects, offering a diverse and intellectually stimulating caseload.
The ideal candidate will have:

• Between 3–6 years’ PQE, with demonstrable experience in construction law – contentious, non-contentious, or ideally a mix of both.
• A solid understanding of construction law principles and relevant contractual frameworks (e.g. JCT, NEC).
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships with clients and colleagues alike.
• A proactive mindset and a genuine interest in business development.
• A collaborative working style and the ability to thrive under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
• Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.

Whether you’re currently focused on disputes or have a broader construction practice, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a nationally recognised team where your development and progression will be genuinely supported.
