An exciting opportunity has arisen for a junior construction solicitor to join the Birmingham office of a leading international law firm with a particularly strong reputation in the real estate, development and infrastructure sectors.

The firm has a long-established presence in the UK market and is widely recognised for advising across the built environment, housing, infrastructure and regeneration sectors. With offices across the UK and internationally, the firm regularly acts for developers, contractors, investors, housing providers, lenders and public sector bodies on complex development projects.

The Birmingham office forms a key part of the firm’s national projects and construction offering and works closely with colleagues across the UK on major schemes.

The Role

You will join a well-regarded Projects & Construction team that advises on a wide range of non-contentious construction matters, supporting clients through the full lifecycle of construction and development projects.

Working alongside experienced partners and senior lawyers, you will gain exposure to a broad range of work including:

• Drafting and negotiating construction documentation, including building contracts, consultant appointments, collateral warranties and third-party rights
• Advising on standard form construction contracts including JCT, NEC and other industry standard forms
• Supporting clients on procurement strategies and project structuring
• Advising on risk allocation and contractual arrangements across development projects
• Working closely with the firm’s real estate, planning, projects and finance teams on large-scale development schemes
• Assisting with construction due diligence on property and corporate transactions
• Supporting on large regeneration, residential and mixed-use development projects

The team is particularly active across residential development, large regeneration schemes, infrastructure and public sector projects, advising clients across both the public and private sectors.
