Yolk Recruitment is excited to be partnering with a leading UK law firm to recruit a Construction Associate for their vibrant Bristol office. This is an outstanding opportunity for a skilled and ambitious solicitor to join a forward-thinking team that is actively engaged in delivering innovative and sustainable construction solutions.

Bristol has firmly established itself as a centre for green innovation and sustainable urban growth. In this role, you'll play a key part in advising clients on cutting-edge projects that align with the city's ambitious environmental goals. Your work will encompass a blend of non-contentious contract drafting and advisory work, as well as resolving complex disputes through adjudication, mediation, and litigation.

You'll be part of a collaborative team that works closely with clients across multiple sectors, including renewable energy, smart infrastructure, and urban regeneration. This role offers exposure to high-profile developments and the opportunity to contribute to projects that are shaping Bristol's future.

What you will be doing as a Construction Associate
As a Construction Associate, you'll be responsible for:

Drafting and negotiating construction contracts, including JCT, NEC, and bespoke agreements. Advising developers, contractors, and funders on procurement strategies and risk management. Handling contentious matters, including adjudication, arbitration, and litigation, with a focus on achieving commercial solutions for clients. In addition to managing your own caseload, you'll play an active role in the team's business development efforts, attending networking events, contributing to thought leadership, and identifying new growth opportunities.

What We're Looking For
We're seeking a solicitor with at least 4 years' PQE and solid experience in both contentious and non-contentious construction matters. You should have a strong understanding of JCT, NEC, and other standard industry contracts, along with a proven ability to manage complex disputes and provide commercially astute advice to clients.

Strong analytical skills, excellent communication abilities, and a passion for driving innovation in the construction sector are essential for success in this role.

Why Join This Firm?
This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a firm that is renowned for its commitment to sustainability and innovation. You'll benefit from structured career progression pathways, a collaborative team environment, and the chance to be involved in transformative projects that make a real impact.

Benefits Include:

Highly competitive salary with a generous bonus scheme. Flexible hybrid working arrangements. Access to high-profile and complex work with renowned clients. Ongoing career progression and leadership development. Supportive culture with mentoring and collaborative learning. Opportunities for public speaking, thought leadership, and industry recognition.
