The Role
As our construction team continues to grow, we are looking for a 1 - 5 PQE Solicitor or Associate to work from our Leeds, Birmingham or Bristol office, as part of the team focusing on contentious construction dispute resolution and advisory work.
Our national construction team currently has 5 partners, with ambitious plans for future growth at all levels. You will be involved in advising on a wide range of construction dispute matters, ranging from traditional final account/loss and expense type claims, to significant defect issues and PFI/projects disputes.
Our panel appointments mean that you will have the opportunity to work on high value, complex instructions including local authorities, NHS Trusts and housing associations. The wider relationships within the construction team will also expose you to working within the wider construction industry, including developers, funders and contractors.
