Associate (4-6 PQE) | Construction & Projects (Contentious)

Found in: Talent UK C2 - 1 week ago

Edinburgh, United Kingdom Burness Paull Full time

Are you experienced Associate with a passion for contentious construction law?

We are looking for an Associate (4-6 PQE) to join our Construction & Projects (Contentious) division in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the biggest construction teams in Scotland, offering unparalleled exposure to top-quality work that sets us apart from the rest.

You will have the opportunity to take a leading role in high-quality cases, working with our top clients in litigations, adjudications, arbitrations, and mediations as well as pre action advisory work. You must have a passion for construction law and be pragmatic and results-focussed with the ability to work under pressure and to tight timescales.

We are looking for candidates with a positive attitude, a focus on quality and a determination to provide first-class service. The successful candidate must have good analytical skills, excellent verbal, and written communication skills, well organised, self motivated, and the ability to work as part of a team. There will be scope for career progression within this role.

At the heart of Burness Paull is our independence.

It’s this that gives us the licence to shape our business and culture in the sustainable way we want to, supporting the needs of our people, our clients, our wider community and the environment. It means freedom to pursue a philosophy of always being human in attitude and high-performing in approach.

For our people that means recognising everyone is different and valuing those differences. A culture that celebrates openness and where genuine advice and relationships are championed. An environment that encourages everyone to aim for success by being the best version of themselves.

And because we value the contribution that every one of our team makes, we make sure everyone is rewarded over and above the usual benefits you'd expect from a leading law firm. That means bonus schemes for all employees, family friendly policies that are stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to supporting colleagues.

We set the bar high. Our clients and people love that.
