With a focus on delivering exceptional services to our clients, we foster an environment where our employees can thrive, grow, and make a real impact.



The Construction Team


Our Construction team supports a wide variety of clients, from commercial clients to Education, local authorities, Housing Associations, contractors, sub-contractors and consultants. We advise on everything from complex development agreements, drafting and negotiating construction contracts, contract interpretation, compensation event claims and dispute avoidance to construction due diligence on real estate and corporate matters. You will be joining a highly skilled team that works seamlessly within the wider real estate sector on high-profile projects and is focussed on growth.

She needs support to work on large, complex transactions, manage client relationships, support on negotiations, and provide strategic advice.

  • Experience providing construction support for other departments within the firm on wider transactions, for example real estate leases/ purchases/real estate finance, corporate and commercial is beneficial.
  • Contentious construction advice, including ADR, mediation, adjudication, arbitration, and litigation would be beneficial, but a purely non-contentious candidate would not be discounted.



What We’re Looking For


  • A qualified solicitor with a strong background in construction law. (2+ years PQE)
  • Experience in non-contentious construction advice, drafting and advising on standard forms of contract is essential.
  • Contentious construction experience would be beneficial, particularly if the candidate has a desire to grow and lead this area of practice, but a purely non-contentious candidate would not be discounted.
  • Business development skills and a willingness to attend networking events is essential.
  • Excellent negotiation skills and the ability to manage multiple projects.
  • A collaborative approach, comfortable working in cross-disciplinary teams.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering exceptional client service



In return, we offer


  • flexible working: you will have the ability to work between home and the office as required.
  • health and wellbeing: subsidised in-person and virtual yoga, wellbeing events and our ‘Time to Move’ scheme, offering colleagues time to simply get away from their desks.
  • career development opportunities: we are a fast-growing and ambitious firm. We appreciate and value your ambition, too. We offer promotion opportunities twice a year, supported by a robust and supportive career development framework.
  • excellent rewards and benefits: competitive pension scheme, comprehensive health plan, life assurance, option to buy/sell annual leave, recognition scheme, cycle to work scheme, 1x a week Chiropractor onsite, Chef onsite - free lunch on Mondays and Tuesdays, shower facilities onsite, regular social events, and lots more.
  • a great location and working environment: Cardiff is a fantastic place to live and work. Our office, in the city centre, is right in the middle of it all, yet only a short drive from some of the best of the Welsh countryside.



We are committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment. We encourage equality and diversity and treat all job applicants and colleagues fairly — regardless of age, gender, disability, ethnicity, religion or any religious or cultural beliefs, marital status and civil partnership, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity.
