Job Description:
Construction Senior Associate
Here at VWV, our construction team is going from strength to strength. We are now looking for a positive and engaging lawyer with ideally a couple of years or more expertise to join our friendly Bristol-based team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a full service top 100 UK law firm, where you'll gain experience in a wide variety of high quality instructions.
The role
Our well-geared Bristol based team comprises 2 construction Partners, 2 Senior Associates, 2 Solicitors, a Trainee and a Paralegal. We're looking for a construction lawyer with around 2 years or more experience to join our supportive and busy team in Bristol. Ideally you'll have a mixed repertoire of contentious and non-contentious expertise and will be looking to take on a broad range of high quality work across a variety of sectors including waste, infrastructure, higher education, health and commercial property development.
As regards the work itself, part of your role will involve drafting, negotiating and advising on a range of standard and bespoke forms of construction and engineering contracts (JCT, NEC, IChemE, IET, ACA). Our team works with clients at every stage of the construction process in both the private and public sectors including property developers, funders, investors, contractors and consultants. Our instructions range from the provision of advice upon small discrete issues to being responsible for the entire contract matrix for a new commercial property development. One thing is for sure, our work is extremely varied and our clients are wide ranging.
Given that construction law involves supporting commercial property transactions and wider projects within the firm, you'll naturally find the role to be sociable and interactive. You'll have a love of team endeavour and enjoy working collaboratively with your colleagues across the offices helping to provide our clients with the seamless "one stop shop" service for which, here at VWV, we are renowned.
Where will I be working?
At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Whilst it's your experience and enthusiasm that for us are key, we'd ideally like you to work from our Bristol office for at least part of the week. In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture that no advert can do justice! We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.
Why choose us?
We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration is key. There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can finally be yourself.
Here at VWV, we can offer an exciting array of benefits and are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We're striving to create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can reach their full potential. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this vacancy please call our recruiter as we're happy to make the necessary adjustments and allowances.
