Construction Solicitor | NQ–3 PQE | Chester
Looking to build your career in Construction Law? This could be one worth a conversation.
I’m working with a highly regarded law firm in Chester who are looking to bring a Construction Solicitor at NQ–3 PQE into their growing team.
This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants quality work, genuine progression and the chance to develop their contentious construction experience.
The caseload is predominantly contentious, with a good mix of non-contentious work alongside it. You’ll get exposure to a variety of matters, including payment disputes, contractual disputes and JCT contracts, giving you the opportunity to build a well-rounded construction practice.

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.
