Non-Contentious Construction Associate – NQ–2 PQE | London

If you’re an NQ–2 PQE construction solicitor looking to build a stronger non-contentious practice, this could be a really good next move.

I’m working with a highly regarded UK law firm that is looking to add a junior Associate to its London Projects, Development & Construction team.

The role offers exposure to high-quality work across real estate, housing, commercial property, regeneration, education, healthcare, sustainability and renewables, with the opportunity to work closely with experienced construction lawyers and wider real estate and commercial teams.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

You’ll gain experience across:

  • Construction and development projects
  • JCT and NEC contracts
  • Professional appointments
  • Collateral warranties and novations
  • Procurement and development arrangements
  • Regeneration and large-scale projects
  • Renewable energy and sustainability matters
  • Wider real estate and corporate transactions

This would suit someone already focused on non-contentious construction, but I’d also be keen to speak with junior construction solicitors who currently have a mixed contentious/non-contentious practice and want to develop a stronger front-end specialism.
