We are working with a leading UK commercial law firm on an exciting opportunity within their highly regarded Construction team in Leeds. This is a fantastic chance to join a forward-thinking, commercially driven firm with a strong reputation for advising on complex, high-value construction and infrastructure projects.
The team advises a broad range of clients, including developers, contractors, funders, and public sector bodies, on both contentious and non-contentious construction matters. Their work spans major development and infrastructure projects, drafting and negotiating standard form and bespoke construction contracts (including JCT and NEC), as well as advising on project risk, procurement strategies, and dispute avoidance. The team is also experienced in handling disputes through adjudication, litigation, and alternative dispute resolution.
This role is ideally suited to a Senior Associate who is looking for a clear progression path and the opportunity to take on management responsibilities. As well as this, the firm can offer a high degree of flexibility. The position can focus on non-contentious construction; however, if you have worked on both non-contentious and contentious matters and wish to continue a similar caseload, then this can be provided.
This leading UK commercial law firm has built a strong reputation across multiple practice areas and is known for its collaborative and integrated approach. Operating from a single-site model, the firm fosters close working relationships across teams, enabling seamless client service. The Construction team works closely with Real Estate, Planning, and Projects specialists to provide holistic advice on complex developments. The firm is recognised for its investment in people, offering excellent training, clear progression pathways, and a positive working environment.
Requirements: You will have 4–8+ PQE experience working on Construction matters in England & Wales, or common law jurisdictions.
Salary: £85k–£110k depending on your level of experience, as well as a leading bonus structure.
