Superb opening to join a very friendly and supportive six lawyer construction team at this highly collegiate and highly regarded City law firm. A busy and thriving team which sits within a substantial 20 lawyer plus real estate practice.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Managing a varied caseload of predominantly non-contentious and some contentious construction work.
2. Drafting and negotiating the full range of construction documentation including construction contracts, professional appointments, development agreements, construction aspects of agreements for lease, guarantees, bonds, and collateral warranties.
The construction teams work covers both residential and commercial construction work. Acting for contractors, developers, architects, and high net worth individuals, day-to-day work is highly varied. There is also a strong focus on teamwork, supporting each other, and cross-referrals with the firm’s other departments, particularly real estate and property litigation. Lawyers are given responsibility, autonomy, and all the tools to grow and develop.
Due to a growing client base and work, the team are now keen to recruit a construction lawyer with at least six years post-qualification in construction law, who will be the most senior associate in the team.
The team are open to backgrounds and will consider lawyers who are considering a return to private practice from in-house, Australian and New Zealand qualified lawyers who have been practicing in the UK for at least 12 months, regional lawyers wanting to work for a London firm, and those looking to return from career breaks. They are also open to Partners looking for a different path.
The firm is B Corp registered with the aim of constantly improving their purpose and people, alongside their profit. They are one of very few law firms in the UK with B Corp certification, reflective of their values and culture.
