Junior Construction Solicitor

A leading London law firm is seeking a talented and ambitious junior construction lawyer to join its highly regarded Construction team. This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor at the early stages of their career to develop their expertise within a practice that offers exposure to a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious construction matters.

The successful candidate will work closely with partners and senior associates on a wide range of high-quality mandates for developers, contractors, consultants, investors, lenders and other commercial clients across a variety of sectors.

The Role

Candidate Profile

Applications are invited from candidates who can demonstrate:

• Qualification as a solicitor in England & Wales.

• Exposure to either contentious or non-contentious construction matters, with a genuine interest in developing expertise across both disciplines.
• Strong technical and drafting skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
• A commercial, pragmatic and solutions-focused approach.
• The ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative team while managing responsibilities proactively.

The Opportunity

This position offers the chance to join a supportive and collegiate team with an excellent reputation in the construction sector. The successful candidate will receive high levels of responsibility, direct client exposure and ongoing mentoring from experienced practitioners, providing an outstanding platform for long-term career development.

Please apply as directed or confidentially contact Rowan Hemblade at Henderson Scott for more information. Alternatively, if this role is not for you, I am working a variety of other construction roles with ranked teams in the City of London so would be interested to talk to any construction lawyer.
