Construction Solicitor

Construction Solicitor | NQ–3 PQE | Chester

Looking to build your career in Construction Law? This could be one worth a conversation.

I’m working with a highly regarded law firm in Chester who are looking to bring a Construction Solicitor at NQ–3 PQE into their growing team.

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants quality work, genuine progression and the chance to develop their contentious construction experience.

The caseload is predominantly contentious, with a good mix of non-contentious work alongside it. You’ll get exposure to a variety of matters, including payment disputes, contractual disputes and JCT contracts, giving you the opportunity to build a well-rounded construction practice.

What you’ll be doing

• Handling a predominantly contentious construction caseload
• Advising on construction and payment disputes
• Drafting and reviewing JCT contracts
• Dealing with contractual claims and disputes
• Supporting on non-contentious construction matters
• Advising clients throughout construction projects
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships

What they’re looking for

We’re considering candidates from NQ through to 3 PQE with a genuine interest in construction law.

You don’t need to have done everything listed above. What’s important is that you have a solid grounding in construction work, strong attention to detail and the ambition to develop within a specialist team.

NQ candidates with relevant construction experience are encouraged to apply.

What’s on offer?

• Competitive salary
• Hybrid/flexible working
• Genuine career progression
• Strong training and development
• High-quality and varied caseload
• Supportive and collaborative team
• Excellent client exposure
• The opportunity to specialise and build your reputation in construction law
• A well-established firm with a strong presence in the region
