We are recruiting for an experienced Associate or Senior Associate to join our Projects, Infrastructure & Construction team (PIC) based in Birmingham or Glasgow, on a hybrid basis. This role is a full-time, permanent opportunity, and will further strengthen our existing PIC team that operates on a national basis.
This opportunity is ideally suited to a construction lawyer with a specialism in contentious matters; however, we are also open to hearing from those with a background in both contentious and non-contentious matters.
Nationally, the PIC team has expertise across a range of sectors including infrastructure, energy, real estate development, and the public sector, and undertakes both contentious, non-contentious construction, and projects-related work.
PIC has enjoyed significant growth and investment, making it an exciting and rewarding team to be a part of. The national Legal 500 team (with a presence in Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, London, Belfast, and Glasgow) comprises approximately 40 people, including support and lawyers across all levels of seniority. There is genuine opportunity for lawyers of mid to senior level to progress rapidly within the team and be part of its continued success.
