I am currently working with a well-established, partner-led full-service law firm with an enviable client base spanning businesses, institutions, and individuals.
The Firm
The firm's Real Estate & Development practice is highly regarded and acts for an impressive range of clients, including national housebuilders, developers, investors, financial institutions, care providers, and property owners. Its wider Real Estate, Development, and Construction teams are also recognized in the legal directories, with a number of individual partners ranked.
The Opportunity
My client is looking to appoint an ambitious senior Construction & Engineering lawyer to play a key role in the continued development and growth of an established and successful practice.
The opportunity would suit an existing Partner seeking a new platform, or a Legal Director or senior lawyer who is ready to take the next step into partnership.
The team advises a broad client base across both contentious and non-contentious construction matters, with particular experience in commercial and residential development, industrial projects, care and retirement living, offshore wind, ports, and marinas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There is genuine scope for the successful individual to develop and grow their own practice while working closely with colleagues across the wider Real Estate, Development, Corporate, and Dispute Resolution teams.
The Practice
The Construction & Engineering team advises clients throughout the lifecycle of a project, from procurement and contract negotiation through to practical completion and dispute avoidance.
Its work includes:
- Construction and procurement contracts
- Consultant appointments
- Development agreements
- Collateral warranties and third-party rights
- Bonds and guarantees
- Project and strategic advice
- Construction and contractual disputes
- Risk management and dispute avoidance
About You
I am keen to speak with commercially minded and entrepreneurial Construction & Engineering lawyers who have the ambition to build and develop a successful practice.
You may be:
- An established Partner considering a new platform
- A Legal Director or senior lawyer with clear partnership aspirations
- A senior lawyer with a strong network, established client relationships, and a proven business development track record
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
A portable following would be advantageous, although my client would also be interested in lawyers who can demonstrate a strong ability to generate work and develop long-term client relationships.
Lawyers with contentious, non-contentious, or mixed Construction & Engineering experience would all be of interest.
Why Consider the Opportunity?
My client can offer:
- A strong and established Real Estate & Development platform
- An impressive and diverse client base
- Significant cross-selling opportunities
- A collaborative, partner-led culture
- Genuine autonomy to build and develop your practice
- The support and infrastructure of a full-service firm
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious senior Construction & Engineering lawyer to take a leading role in the continued growth of an established and highly regarded practice.
If you would be interested in exploring the opportunity on a confidential basis, I would be delighted to have a conversation.
