Lawrence Stephens is seeking a 2-4 PQE Solicitor to join our growing Construction team. Based in our Farringdon office, with hybrid working available, this is an excellent opportunity to develop a broad construction practice with exposure to both contentious and non-contentious matters.
Working closely with Partners and experienced fee earners, you will support and advise a diverse client base across construction, real estate, development and related commercial projects. The role offers high levels of responsibility, direct client contact and the opportunity to play an active role in the continued growth of the practice.
We are looking for a commercially minded and organised solicitor with strong technical skills and a proactive approach to client service. Ideally, you will have gained experience in construction law and be confident advising on a range of contentious and/or non-contentious construction matters.
