Construction Solicitor (Non-Contentious) / Commercial Solicitor – Exciting Career Development Opportunity
Work on a broad mix of commercial work while helping to grow a non-contentious construction practice
I’m working with a forward-thinking law firm that is expanding its Construction and Commercial team. This is an excellent opportunity for a Solicitor with non-contentious construction law experience to play a key role in developing the practice, while also handling a wide variety of general commercial matters.
About You
You’ll have a solid background in non-contentious construction law, including experience advising on JCT and NEC contracts, and will be comfortable drafting and negotiating a range of commercial contracts. You’ll also be someone who:

- Combines technical expertise with strong commercial acumen and the ability to provide practical, real-world advice
- Is confident managing your own matters while contributing to the development of junior colleagues
The Role
You’ll be based within the firm’s Commercial team, working closely with both non-contentious and contentious construction specialists as well as colleagues in the wider Business Services team. The work will include:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating construction contracts (JCT, NEC and bespoke agreements)
- Advising on a range of commercial contracts across multiple sectors
- Playing an active role in business development and client relationship management
- Collaborating with highly experienced partners on both construction and wider commercial projects
This is a great opportunity for a solicitor who wants to grow a specialist construction practice while keeping the breadth of commercial work.
Why This Role?
