NQ Construction Solicitor

Job description

NQ Construction Solicitor – Manchester

Exceptional quality work. Genuine investment in junior lawyers. A market-leading platform to build your career.

If you're approaching qualification and looking for a construction role that will expose you to some of the most complex and high-profile projects in the market, this opportunity is worth exploring.

You'll join a nationally recognised construction team that advises a broad range of developers, contractors, investors, funders and public sector organisations on major projects across the UK.

The team continues to grow and offers the sort of work that many lawyers spend years trying to access.

The role will involve a mixture of contentious and non-contentious construction matters, giving you the opportunity to develop a genuinely rounded skillset early in your career. You'll work closely with experienced partners and senior lawyers who are committed to mentoring and developing junior members of the team.

The wider business is known for its collaborative culture, strong technical standards and significant investment in learning and development. As an NQ, you'll be given responsibility from the outset whilst still having access to the support and supervision needed to continue your development.

This opportunity would suit a trainee solicitor with construction experience gained during training, whether through dedicated construction seats or exposure to construction-related projects.

The Opportunity

• High-quality non-contentious construction work
• Exposure to major national development and infrastructure projects
• Strong supervision, mentoring and technical development
• Clear progression framework from day one
• Flexible and hybrid working environment
• Competitive salary and benefits package

About You

• Approaching qualification as a solicitor in England & Wales
• Construction seat (or time to count)
• Strong academics and technical ability
• Commercially minded with excellent communication skills
• Keen to build a long-term career within construction law

If you'd like to discuss the opportunity in confidence, please get in touch.
