Senior Construction & Engineering Lawyer
Leeds (with flexible working)
Competitive Salary & Fantastic Benefits
We are working with a highly regarded full-service law firm to recruit experienced lawyers to join its busy Construction & Engineering team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for specialist construction lawyers to progress their career in a leading firm with genuine long-term prospects and a supportive culture.
A varied and high-quality construction practice
The Construction & Engineering team has a wide-ranging practice spanning both contentious and non-contentious construction matters. The lawyers here advise on projects across the full spectrum of the industry - from traditional development work to large-scale energy and infrastructure projects.
You will gain exposure to a number of interesting and growing sectors, including:
- Student accommodation
- Private rental sector (PRS)
- Major energy and infrastructure projects
- Complex disputes (litigation, arbitration, adjudication, and enforcement)
Clients include listed companies, developers, banks, local authorities, educational institutions, contractors, specialist sub-contractors and consultants — both in the UK and internationally.
The opportunity
The firm is looking to recruit at two levels:
Director
A senior solicitor (10+ PQE) with extensive experience in transactional / non-contentious construction law. You should have a strong track record of managing matters independently, supervising others, and working collaboratively as part of a team.
Senior Associate
A construction law specialist (4+ PQE) with expertise in either contentious or non-contentious construction law — or ideally, a mix of both.
Why apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to progress your career within one of the leading firms outside of London. Decisions about your future are made by colleagues you know and work with directly, and there is a genuine commitment to helping you build a sustainable and fulfilling career.
The firm offers:
- High quality work with national and international clients
