We act as trusted advisors to a wide range of clients, from individuals and SMEs to national contractors, developers and local authorities.   Across the firm, we prioritise personal relationships, practical advice, and long-term collaboration. Our Construction team in particular has earned a reputation for its strategic, hands-on support to clients across the construction supply chain resolving disputes efficiently while helping clients manage risk and strengthen their commercial position.   THE ROLE   We are seeking an experienced Construction Solicitor (Associate or Senior Associate) to join our expanding Construction team.   This is an opportunity to work alongside Partners Sam Bawden and Lawrence Pearce on a broad range of complex and high-value contentious construction matters across the UK.   You’ll be trusted with genuine responsibility from the outset, managing your own caseload of adjudications, enforcement proceedings, and court litigation in the Technology and Construction Court (TCC). If you wish, you’ll also have the opportunity to advise on non-contentious issues including contract drafting, risk management and project strategy.   Our clients span the full construction supply chain - from specialist subcontractors and consultants to main contractors and developers - with a growing portfolio of high-profile and technically challenging projects.   You’ll play an active role in business development and client relationship management, supported by an experienced marketing team and strong firmwide networks across the construction sector.    We’re looking for someone who combines solid technical ability with commercial awareness and the confidence to lead client matters.
