A top-tier international firm is looking to strengthen its transactional (non-contentious) construction team with the appointment of a Senior Associate, and the platform on offer is exceptional. The firm has built one of the strongest reputations in the sector for advising on complex, high-value developments and infrastructure projects across the UK and internationally.
Over the last two years in particular, the team has secured an impressive run of major client mandates, advising developers, contractors, funders and institutional investors on significant construction and infrastructure projects. As a result, there is a strong and consistent pipeline of work, giving the incoming Senior Associate the opportunity to work on high-profile, technically challenging matters from day one.
You will work closely with a highly respected partner group that is known for being collaborative, accessible and genuinely supportive of career development. Senior Associates in the team are given meaningful responsibility, client exposure and the chance to take a leading role on key matters, making this an excellent environment in which to continue developing your profile as a construction specialist.
Despite the firm’s tier-one reputation and premium client base, there is also a clear recognition that sustainable careers matter. While the work is high quality and often complex, the firm does not operate under a rigid 2000-hour billing culture, allowing solicitors to maintain a more balanced and sustainable working life than many comparable international practices.
The firm is ideally seeking a 4–6 PQE solicitor with strong non-contentious construction experience, gained within a respected commercial or international practice.
For a solicitor looking to combine top-tier work, strong career progression and a more balanced approach to practice, this is a rare opportunity. Edinburgh or Glasgow candidates equally welcome.
