Construction Senior Associate/ Director

2 months ago

Leeds, United Kingdom Walker Morris LLP Full time

We are looking to recruit a Senior Associate or Director with material experience of transactional/non-contentious construction work. Experience also in contentious work would be preferred, but not essential.

In particular we are looking for:

Director – A solicitor with at least 10 years’ experience in transactional/non-contentious construction law, who has experience of supervising others, working as a team, and leading on matters independently with minimal supervision from Partners. Senior Associate (Non-Contentious) – A specialist in transactional construction law with a minimum of 4 years’ experience.

The lawyers in our Construction & Engineering team cover the whole spectrum of the construction industry, from traditional developments acting for developers, contractors, specialist subcontractors and consultants, through to complex projects in areas such as energy and infrastructure. You’ll get exposure to a number of growing and emerging sectors – for example, student accommodation or PRS – and large scale litigation and arbitration and adjudication (including enforcement).

Your clients are likely to be listed companies, local authorities and educational institutions, banks, developers, contractors, specialist sub-contractors and consultants based nationally and internationally.

You can find out more about the Construction & Engineering team and the type of work it does here.

This is an interesting opportunity for those looking to progress their career in a leading full-service firm based outside of London where the decisions about your future are made by those you see and work with – day in, day out.

Our Award-Winning Sustainable Careers initiative encourages you to develop your career within the Firm.

Walker Morris is a top 100 law firm where you don’t have to fit a mould, so you can bring your full self to work and our commitment to a meaningful work life balance means you can take your full-self home again too

What we offer:

Annual Leave – minimum of 25 days per year, increasing to 31 days with length of service. Also – buy/sell holidays up to 5 days per year. Bonus Scheme – our annual bonus scheme recognises outstanding contributions to the firm and our ambitions. All solicitors are eligible, subject to meeting the criteria of the scheme with opportunity to earn up 35% bonus.
