The team is currently made up from lawyers from the public sector, private sector and home-grown talent and we would welcome applicants from a range of legal backgrounds including lawyers who are interested in beginning a new career in local government.

Benefits include:
  1. Local Government Pension Scheme
  2. Generous holiday allowance
  3. Employee benefits scheme
  4. Health and wellbeing support
  5. Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
Working Environment:
  • Award-winning legal team comprising over 140 legal professionals.
  • Engage with a diverse pool of colleagues, including those from the public and private sectors.
  • Embrace our pioneering system of agile working, offering opportunities to work flexibly.
  • Full-time positions at 37 hours per week, with openness to part-time working.
  • Non-hierarchical and friendly team culture, promoting equality, inclusion, and diversity.
  • Enjoy the benefits of a non-corporate practice, seeing cases through to completion with a high level of responsibility.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified solicitor with expertise in construction law and the confidence and gravitas necessary to manage key client relationships. This is a great opportunity for a construction solicitor who is looking for a new challenge and wants to have a positive impact on the community. You will be able to handle varied, high-quality work in a supportive and friendly team, whilst enjoying excellent work-life balance.

In summary, we are an ambitious, nationally recognised team that wants to deliver consistently outstanding legal work. If you’re someone who is prepared to get stuck in, who wants to do the best job possible, who approaches everything with passion and purpose, then we would welcome your application. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the role prior to applying, please reach out to our recruitment partners Nik Stoate or Tom Ripley at Venn Group.
