Construction Solicitor

1 month ago


Nottingham, United Kingdom Bevan Brittan LLP Full time

Bevan Brittan is a UK-Top 100 commercial law firm providing a comprehensive range of legal services from offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds and London.


The firm advises businesses across construction, energy & resource management, higher education and financial services, complementing the firm's market leadership within housing, local government and health & social care.


We currently employ over 600 people, including over 90 Partners, and our award-winning teams provide construction, commercial, corporate, property, regulatory, employment and litigation (commercial and clinical negligence) legal advice.


Bevan Brittan is named among 'The Times Best Law Firms 2023' and has recently either won or been shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards.


We are driven by our 4 values: Relationships, Results, Reputation and Responsible. These give us a sense of purpose and ensure we always work collaboratively with clients and colleagues, continually improve, make the right choices and act with integrity.


Bevan Brittan is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds


The team


You will be a member of a nationally recognised construction team led by Andrew Tobin and Jonathan Turner, both of whom specialise in non-contentious construction projects.

Our market-leading construction team works for our clients across the UK. Our broad practice covers education (schools and universities), housing (including social and build to rent), health (NHS and private providers), local authority regeneration and highways and major programme delivery for central government.


We advise clients on the delivery of projects using and adapting industry standard forms or bespoke documentation. You will gain experience in negotiating construction and engineering contracts plus all related documents in a wide range of project types and using many of the industry standard forms (particularly JCT and NEC) plus supply chain contracts on PPP projects. We are involved in a number of the major construction programmes for delivery of new hospitals, social housing, schools and highways.


About the role


As our team continues to grow, a vacancy has arisen for a Solicitor to be part of the team working mainly on non-contentious construction work. We are, however, interested to hear from candidates who have experience of a balanced role with contentious construction and who are looking to develop their career towards non-contentious work. You will have the option to work from any of our regional offices - Bristol, Birmingham or Leeds.


You will be working on high value, complex instructions including government departments, local council estates and capital programme teams, NHS Trusts and housing associations. Some recent examples include advising on the following projects:


  • City of London on the construction of the new Museum of London at Smithfield Market
  • A global healthcare product manufacturer on construction of its new UK headquarters
  • A number of care home operators, developers and funders on the construction of a wide range of care facilities
  • Peabody Trust on the delivery of 11,500 new homes at Thamesmead
  • Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust on the construction of the new Leeds General Infirmary
  • Places for People/Balfour Beatty joint venture on the construction of 1,500 new homes adjacent to the Olympic Park
  • University of Oxford on a range of construction projects


What we are looking for from you


The successful candidate will have strong drafting and legal analysis skills (commensurate with their level of experience) and have an ability to liaise effectively with clients. Most importantly, we are looking for ambitious lawyers who want to take on challenging work in the development of their careers. We are happy to consider candidates who are looking to work flexibly in terms of location and/or weekly input. The team is continuing to grow and so career prospects are excellent for the right candidate.


The successful applicant will also possess the following:


  • NQ - 2 years' PQE
  • Private practice or in-house experience, working in a team and ideally some experience coordinating advice with fee earners from other disciplines
  • Good networker or at least an interest in getting involved in networking and developing business
  • Strong foundation of technical skills and an ability to work through, with support from senior fee earners, complex issues in a pragmatic and commercial manner
  • Keen interest in becoming a specialist in the Construction sector


Work-life balance


Where possible, we want to offer all Bevan Brittan people flexibility to work their week in a way that suits them - we operate a hybrid working model based on the needs of our clients, teams and that of the individual. Our core business hours are 9am - 5:15pm Monday to Friday, however we are open to individuals working more flexibly around those times and would welcome a conversation with you if you have any questions.


We offer a substantial benefits package to all employees including:


  • A minimum of 25 days holiday (plus the option to buy up to an additional 5 days)
  • Discretionary bonus scheme
  • Generous pension scheme
  • Private medical insurance through Vitality
  • Biennial private health assessment through Nuffield Health
  • Life assurance
  • Access to Employee Assistance Programme
  • Cycle to work scheme


Responsible business


To us, being a responsible business is second nature; a core part of Bevan Brittan's identity, running through our culture and embodied by the clients we serve. We want to demonstrate our commitment to these causes through actions rather than words; colleagues from across the firm are already heavily involved, living and breathing the four pillars of our Responsible Business strategy:


  • Community Engagement -Each lawyer has the opportunity to undertake pro bono legal work for local charities and not-for-profit organisations. We also play an active role through our local office communities, in 2022 we fundraised and donated a total of £80,000 to our four regional office charities, with each charity receiving £20,000 to help fund their vital services.


  • Environmental Sustainability- Bevan Brittan is proudly a carbon neutral firm. We have achieved the UN's Climate Neutral Now accreditation and our environmental sustainability plan is focused on achieving our net zero carbon target.


  • Equality, Diversity & Inclusion- We have a strong and vibrant diversity programme that gives colleagues across the firm an opportunity to take part, led by our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee and supported by our Ambassadors, who drive engagement in our strategy and raise awareness across the firm.


  • Wellbeing -We are proud of our open culture, where colleagues feel empowered to speak openly about physical and mental health issues and to seek out support when needed. We have trained 21 colleagues across the firm as Mental Health First Aider s and established a programme of initiatives including our informal 'coffee with' scheme.


Collectively, these four pillars ensure we look after our colleagues' wellbeing; offer an environment in which all can progress on merit, regardless of personal circumstances or background; give something back to the communities in which we work; and protect the environment.
