You may also be expected to undertake claims administration, debt recovery work and ad hoc miscellaneous legal advice.

The Skills:
We are looking for a qualified solicitor with circa 4 years PQE and relevant practical experience but all applicants with suitable experience are welcome to apply. You will have utilised your analytic skills and strong attention to detail when analysing and drafting contracts and other legal documents. You have excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Experience in construction law and advising and negotiating on professional engineering consultancy appointments is necessary (both client bespoke and standard forms). In addition, experience in advising on areas like GDPR, IPR, commercial contracts, commercial litigation, professional indemnity insurance and building contracts is highly desirable.
