Construction Solicitor

I recently met with the CEO of this market leading Legal 500 Real Estate firm and discussed their strategic growth plans for 2024. After their continued successes over the past few years, they are looking to hire a Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor (2-4 PQE) into their Construction department.

The Firm

This leading Legal 500 firm has a turnover of £16 million, is well run and very profitable. There are around 85 staff, with 32 Partners. All the work is partner led.

They deal with numerous large real estate deals around London, working on the other side of the transactions to large City and Magic Circle firms and have over £100 million worth of PI cover.

They have the largest mid-market Real Estate Finance team (circa 22 people) and work for over 30 different finance houses. They mostly work on the developer side, with the city/magic circle firms on the other side of the transaction working on funding.

They are a multi-service firm and alongside Real Estate, also specialise in Corporate and Commercial, Planning, Private Wealth, Restructuring and Insolvency and Dispute Resolution. They work on large scale transactions and litigations, including recently winning a case against a leading UK bank in a multi-million-pound banking litigation deal.

They are well known in the market for their high remuneration packages. One of their partners' annual take home was over £1.5 million last year, alongside a good benefits package. Senior Equity is on offer for the right candidate.

The CEO puts a big emphasis on culture and collaboration. All departments work closely together in a happy, supportive environment. Corporate Social Responsibility is also playing an increasingly important role in society and business and staff are given half days for charity events, which recently included International Men's and International Women's Day.

The Role

This department is at the forefront of Real Estate and they act in all industry sectors. They specialise in all aspects of a construction project, from inception to completion and their clientele includes developers, banks, contractors, consultants and end users.

The construction team currently consists of 4 people and is experienced in dealing with both contentious and non-contentious matters and they specialise in the following areas: procurement, advising all types of building and engineering contracts, development agreements, pre-construction services agreements, collateral warranties and performance guarantees.

Remuneration

Competitive salary on offer, plus an excellent benefits package.

This is a first-rate opportunity for a Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor (2-4 PQE) to join a highly experienced, dynamic department in the City of London.
