Construction Solicitor

Greater London – £72,000 - £85,000

A Top 100 national firm with an international presence is undergoing a significant growth phase and is seeking two Construction Associates (2+ PQE) to join its expanding team.

Led by a dynamic partner with a strong reputation in the construction space, the team is well known for advising across both contentious and non-contentious matters. Clients include developers, funders, contractors, consultants, and high-net-worth individuals, with work spanning residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes – including advising on high-profile cladding and building safety matters.

This is a rare opportunity to join a close-knit, collegiate team that punches well above its weight, offering high-quality work and genuine career development. The firm is particularly active in Building Safety Act advisory work and is frequently instructed on complex disputes, project documentation, and strategic risk management.

The ideal candidate:

• 2+ PQE in construction law (contentious, non-contentious, or mixed)
• Confident drafting JCT/NEC contracts and related construction documents
• Experience with adjudications and/or litigation desirable but not essential
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, commercial mindset

Why consider this role?

• Join during a significant period of investment and growth
• High level of partner engagement and mentoring
• Flexible working environment
• Clear path for progression with growing client demand

If you're ready to step into a role with real responsibility, top-tier clients, and visible career development – while avoiding the bureaucracy of a mega-firm – this could be the right fit. The salary on offer will depend on individual candidate experience (£77k+).

Discretion assured. Reach out directly for a confidential discussion.
