Construction Solicitor

A commercial focused firm in Newcastle upon Tyne seek a Construction Solicitor to join their expanding Construction department. Our client seeks applications from anyone 2+PQE with construction experience and is totally open to those from contentious or non-contentious backgrounds. Our client wants to emphasise that they are aware of the high demand in the North East market for Construction Solicitors and really will mould this role around the areas of construction you wish to focus on and could absolutely be a mix of contentious and non-contentious or one or the other. This Construction Solicitor vacancy will really be made to suit you.

Like many this firm has excelled through the pandemic and is really going through a strategic growth phase. Construction and Engineering really is a integral department that the firm wish to focus on and successfully recruit into.

The role:

- The non-contentious workload will include drafting, negotiating and advising clients on building contracts, appointments and sub-contracts, to name a few. You will also be providing support to the Real Estate team on their development and construction matters.

- The contentious work will include construction adjudication, arbitration and litigation, with some potential for project support work and strategic dispute advice.

- This is a recognised construction department with some very well established Partners to work with and benefit from their experience.

The ideal candidate:

- At least 2 years' PQE ideally within another Construction department . Those from a more generalist commercial property background who have been exposed to some construction matters and assisted construction teams, with a genuine interest in this being your focus will also be happily considered.

- You must be enthusiastic about this area of law as you continue to develop and build your knowledge in this sector.

This firm have just relaunched their benefits package and really do offer some excellent incentives.
