Associate​/Senior Associate - Construction

Our client has an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Associate or Senior Associate to join their Construction & Engineering team.

Our client is a well-established full-service law firm with offices across the South Coast and London, advising businesses and individuals locally, nationally and internationally. The firm promotes a collaborative and forward-thinking culture, delivering commercially focused, practical advice while actively supporting career progression and professional development.

The Construction & Engineering team forms part of the wider Real Estate & Development group and works closely with colleagues across multiple offices.

The team advises on both contentious and non-contentious construction matters for a broad client base, including developers, funders, landlords, contractors, consultants and private investors. Their experience spans commercial and residential schemes, mixed-use and industrial projects, hotels and leisure developments, care and retirement living, public sector works, renewable energy projects and port-related developments.

They support clients throughout the lifecycle of a project from procurement and contract drafting through to completion and dispute avoidance, negotiating building contracts, consultant appointments, collateral warranties, third-party rights and related security documentation.

The team is supported by dedicated knowledge and paralegal resources and is recognised in leading legal directories for its expertise within the real estate sector.

The firm is seeking a construction solicitor with 4+ years’ PQE. While experience across both contentious and non-contentious matters would be advantageous, applications are welcomed from candidates specialising primarily in either area.

• Demonstrate strong teamwork and interpersonal skills
• Show excellent organisation and attention to detail
• Be confident managing matters independently and progressing work efficiently
• Contribute to business development initiatives
• Build and maintain strong client relationships within the sector

• Competitive salary and performance-related progression
• Private medical insurance and contributory pension
• 25 days’ holiday plus an additional celebration day
• Hybrid and flexible working from South Coast offices
• The opportunity to manage and grow your own caseload with strong team support
• A client-facing role within a respected and growing real estate practice

This is a genuine opportunity to establish yourself within a dynamic and expanding construction team.
