We are looking for a 4-7 PQE Associate / Senior Associate to advise largely on non-contentious matters. As a team, many of us work on both contentious and non-contentious matters and we are keen to encourage people to develop a wide skill set. However, our business wins are presently trending towards challenging, high-profile work on the transactional side. You should therefore be very familiar with JCT and NEC contracts from a purely construction and property development perspective. Experience of PPP or PFI transactions would be particularly valued, and similarly exposure to FIDIC or ICHEME forms would be great.
This role can be based in either our Cardiff or Southampton office although you will be part of our large construction team who work across all of the offices. We support hybrid working, typically with 3 days flexible office attendance, according to business need.
Skills / Experience Required
We are interested in candidates with high calibre construction experience acquired at a leading national, regional or City law firm. Candidates with in-house legal experience at major contractor, consultant or public bodies will also be valued highly.
