About this role

We're looking for an experienced Professional Negligence Construction Solicitor to join a respected team handling high-value, complex claims. This is a role for someone who wants real responsibility, the chance to influence strategy, and the opportunity to lead on challenging matters, all within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The Role

  • Lead and manage your own caseload of construction and professional indemnity claims, including architects, engineers, and broader professional liability matters.
  • Advise clients directly on liability, coverage, and reinsurance issues, providing strategic input on complex, high-value disputes.
  • Work alongside partners, principal associates, insurers, experts, and counsel, shaping case strategy and project outcomes.
  • Prepare detailed reports, correspondence, and court documents while ensuring your team meets deadlines and internal quality standards.
  • Mentor junior solicitors and trainees, supporting their development while contributing to the wider growth and strategy of the team.

We're Looking For

  • Qualified Solicitor with 3+ years PQE and a proven track record in Professional Indemnity (Construction) claims.
  • Strong experience in insurance litigation, policy coverage analysis, or professional risk matters, with the confidence to lead cases from start to finish.
  • Commercial, solutions-oriented mindset, with excellent drafting, analytical, and strategic skills.
  • Someone who thrives in a collaborative setting but can take ownership of complex work and provide direction to colleagues.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with clients, insurers, and internal teams.

What's In It For You

  • Competitive salary and central London location, full-time, permanent.
  • A real chance to shape your own career: lead high-value, complex cases and develop a true PI construction specialism.
  • Work in a supportive, mentoring-driven environment where senior solicitors are trusted to take initiative and guide the team.
  • Exposure to strategic-level projects, client-facing decisions, and high-profile matters that give you visibility and influence across the business.
