Job Description
Our client, a highly regarded law firm within the construction sector, is looking for a second in command for their non-contentious team based in Leeds, but would also consider a fully remote Construction Solicitor position.
This role offers a great opportunity for someone looking for a clear and open route to career development.
Supporting the Head of Department, they are keen to recruit someone who has experience dealing with clients directly, running matters themselves, and ideally has experience in or an interest in supporting more junior lawyers.
This firm offers access to quality work from an array of backgrounds including contractors and sub-contractors, developers, funders, and consultants.
Key areas of focus include:
1. Contract review
2. Reviewing, drafting, and advising on the suite of contracts and documents including consultant appointments, building contracts, etc.
3. Due diligence reporting
With such a diverse range of clients, they have both repeat users and one-off clients, which means that they need someone adaptable in their approach to clients and able to advise less knowledgeable clients who may be undertaking one-off developments, as well as those for whom the construction sector is their working life.
With a huge amount of recommended work and repeat business, the firm tends to lead their marketing with an ongoing programme of seminars and webinars rather than attending random events. They'd love you to get involved in the seminars; however, if you are keen to do more proactive business development, they are happy to support you in this, whether that be from the partners or their marketing team.
This firm offers something a little different but with a massively competitive package that is in line with the best in Leeds, flexible and hybrid working, and a fabulous working environment. They are happy to go one step further with the flexibility that they can offer and consider someone who is looking to work largely remotely; that said, they are very collegiate, so it would be very important to ensure that you ultimately feel part of the team, which would mean some visits to Leeds for both professional and social reasons.
