Up to £150,000 depending on experience

An established, multi-disciplinary regional law firm with a long trading history and strong market reputation is seeking an experienced Construction Solicitor to join as a Salaried Partner.

This is a strategic hire within a growing Construction & Engineering team, offering genuine influence, high-quality work and a clear voice in the direction of the practice.

The Opportunity

You will take a lead role in complex and high-value construction disputes while also supporting non-contentious advisory matters. The team acts for a broad range of clients including developers, employers, contractors, subcontractors and construction professionals across commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects.

The work includes:

• Adjudications, arbitrations, mediations and TCC litigation
• Payment disputes, defects claims, delay and disruption matters
• Final account disputes and termination issues
• Professional negligence claims
• Drafting and negotiating construction contracts and appointments (including JCT and NEC)
• Strategic risk management advice to commercial clients

You will have autonomy over your caseload, the opportunity to supervise junior lawyers, and a platform to further develop client relationships.

The Individual

This role would suit a senior construction disputes lawyer who:

• Is England & Wales qualified with significant PQE (typically 6+ years)
• Has strong experience in contentious construction work
• Is confident running adjudications and complex litigation
• Brings commercial awareness and pragmatic judgement
• Has an interest in contributing to business development and team growth
• May have an existing client following (beneficial but not essential)

The firm is open to individuals currently at Legal Director, Senior Associate or existing Partner level seeking a more entrepreneurial environment. There's a competitive package, with Partnership status and no equity risk.

This is an excellent move for a construction lawyer seeking influence, stability and progression within a well-established regional platform.
