Construction Solicitor - #2186022

I’m working with a highly regarded international law firm looking to add a Construction Disputes Solicitor to its Manchester team.

The firm has an established construction practice with a strong national reputation, advising on major development, regeneration and infrastructure projects. The team works closely with colleagues across Real Estate, Planning, Banking and Corporate, offering exposure to a varied client base and high-quality work.

The role

You’ll join a well-established Projects & Construction team, working on a broad range of contentious construction matters, including adjudications, litigation, arbitration and dispute avoidance.

The team advises developers, contractors and public sector organisations on complex construction projects, giving you the opportunity to build your experience across a varied caseload.

The role sits within the wider construction team, so it isn’t limited to contentious work. There will also be opportunities to get involved in non-contentious construction matters, giving you a broader experience across the sector.

Who they’re looking for

• An NQ+ Solicitor with a solid grounding in contentious construction, ideally gained through a training seat or post-qualification experience.
• Someone with an interest in developing their technical expertise across construction disputes.
• A commercially minded, proactive individual who is keen to get involved in quality work.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective client relationships.

Why consider it?

This is a good opportunity to join an established construction practice with a strong pipeline of work, experienced Partners and the support to develop your career. You’ll gain exposure to a variety of complex disputes while also having the opportunity to broaden your experience into non-contentious construction work, all within a well-respected national team.

If you’re an NQ or junior Solicitor with a background in construction disputes and would be open to hearing a bit more, feel free to get in touch for a confidential chat.
