Plymouth Devon, United Kingdom Cathedral Appointments | South West Recruitment Full time

Construction Lawyer Ref: 10683
Our client is a boutique Dorset-based firm with an established reputation as a specialist in construction law. Led by its founding owner, the firm is hugely proud of its ability to work with and understand the commercial context of the construction related businesses it supports. The team develops effective and lasting relationships with a variety of clients including developers and contractors, professional consultants, specialist sub-contractor and individuals - many of whom are dealing with stressful situations arising from disputes concerning payment, project delays or defective work. Offering assistance across contentious and non-contentious construction matters, the firm is now focussed on growth in order to continue to meet client demand, and is seeking to recruit an experienced Construction Lawyer to play a key role in the development of the team.
The firm has fostered a culture of encouragement and support, providing genuine career development prospects for its people. As the team grows, there is considerable scope for progression to senior level and a potential future leadership role in time for someone with the right blend of technical and client care skills, personal motivation and commercial awareness.

Working with the business owner, you will be responsible for your own caseload of good quality contentious and non-contentious matters of varying size and complexity from the outset. The firm works with clients at every stage of the construction process in both the private and public sectors, and your primary focus will be to provide exceptional client service. You will appreciate the significance of understanding each client’s individual commercial context, ambitions and requirements in order to provide considered and commercially relevant advice to them in a timely manner.
Good quality supervision and support will be available as needed, with the expectation that you will be comfortable managing the majority of matters with relative independence. The team works from the offices close to Dorchester, for part of each week in combination with hybrid working.

Having gained experience as a Construction Lawyer in a UK law firm, you will be accustomed to handling a varied caseload of good quality matters with limited supervision, and with increasing independence over time. Likely to already be an Associate or Senior Associate, you will be motivated and enthusiastic, having benefited from good quality training and post qualifying experience in construction related matters. You will have gained good technical knowledge and experienced the practical application of the common suite of contracts relating to construction projects.
You will appreciate the importance of an effective business network and work generation activities, having already gained some experience of how to generate new business opportunities, promoting your profile and building up referrer networks. You will be keen to build out your network with referrers across the region, and contribute towards broader business development activities in agreement with the business owner.
You focus on keeping up to date with the latest legal developments affecting the construction industry and work proactively to consider potential impact on your clients.
You will possess proven rapport building skills and you are tenacious, thorough, and attentive to detail, taking pride in the high standards of your work.

25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays - 3 days to be taken from the entitlement for Christmas/New Year closure.
~ Competitive salary
~ Profit related firm bonus (discretionary)
~ Individual bonus - based on revenue (discretionary)
~ Pension (4% employer contributions)
~ Life Assurance
~ Hybrid working, typically with 3 days in the office/2 from home
~ Relocation assistance will be considered for the right candidate.
