Construction Associate
From major transport schemes to iconic city-centre builds, you’ll be working at the heart of high-profile, long-term developments alongside major players in the public and private sectors. You’ll get hands-on responsibility from the outset and be part of a collaborative, growing team that’s gaining serious traction in the market.
If you're a technically strong, commercially minded junior lawyer looking to build a long-term career in non-contentious construction, this is a standout platform.
What you’ll do:
- Advise blue-chip clients on the drafting, negotiation, and delivery of high-value construction contracts (primarily JCT, ideally some NEC)
- Act on complex development, infrastructure, and regeneration projects across real estate, transport, and technology
- Work closely with clients including developers, contractors, government bodies, and household-name brands
- Contribute to strategic project planning, risk mitigation, and procurement structuring
- 0–3 years' PQE with a strong grounding in non-contentious construction law
- Experience advising on JCT contracts (NEC knowledge highly regarded)
- Training and/or post-qualification experience from a top-tier City, international, or leading national firm
- A proactive mindset and the confidence to engage directly with clients, consultants, and counterparties
- Strong academic credentials and a genuine interest in infrastructure and the built environment
You’ll join a collaborative, expanding group of construction lawyers who are leading on some of the UK’s most ambitious projects. The team has a strong reputation in both domestic and cross-border work, and operates with a flat structure, giving juniors real exposure to clients and decision-making.
A highly regarded global firm with deep sector expertise and a reputation for innovation, inclusion, and integrity. The London office is known for its strong culture and long-term investment in junior talent.
- Flexible working and 26 weeks’ paid parental leave (regardless of gender)
- Health and wellbeing benefits, including gym discounts and corporate medical plans
- Global secondment opportunities and industry-recognised training
- Involvement in landmark infrastructure, regeneration, and development projects
- Competitive salary + performance bonus + full benefits
