London, Greater London, United Kingdom Jameson Legal Full time

Sick of big law firm culture and inflexibility but not quality of work? We've been exclusively instructed by a forward-thinking, vibrant, specialist City construction/property boutique on two permanent Senior Associate level roles specialising in contentious and non-contentious construction..

The firm advises investors, developers, main contractors and sub-contractors on a range of property and construction issues. They boast a strong and distinct culture, one in which employees are valued, appreciated, and offered an actual work life balance, flexibility, and career progression. The firm operates with a hybrid working environment and most employees work a combination of office based and remote.

If you're a Senior Associate from a larger firm, sick of big firm culture and politics, with high standards, good experience, a sense of humour (and you don't take yourself too seriously), you'll fit right in.

In order to be considered for one of these roles you will probably have:At least 8 years+ PQE as either a contentious or non-contentious construction lawyer;A detailed understanding of construction and engineering contracts such as JCT, NEC, FIDIC, IChemE and Logic, and/or if appropriate how to resolve disputes when they go wrong;Experience in providing pragmatic legal advice to the construction sector; and(where necessary/appropriate) representing clients in adjudications, mediations and in litigation. As well as the above legal skills, you'll have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues, strong time management skills (the ability to operate with urgency at pace when required), as well as strong skills in IT, matter finance, business development and team working. To discuss this opportunity and others we are handling in complete confidence, please send your CV to or call David on for a confidential discussion. Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience. Jameson Legal acts as an employment business for temporary recruitment and as an employment agency for fixed term contract and permanent recruitment.
