Job Details

Construction Lawyers Leeds 2-8PQE



Our client is a top tier firm with an excellent reputation:

The Construction team has achieved an enviable reputation over many years having been involved in a number of high profile construction projects both in the UK and overseas. Covering both contentious and non-contentious work, the team excels at giving technical yet practical advice, taking into account the commercial realities under which our clients operate.

Over 80% of our work is national and around 10% of that is international.

The strength and depth of the team make it one of the top UK construction teams. We continue to grow. Most team members specialise in both the contentious and non-contentious markets as we consider this fundamental in offering a seamless service to our clients and makes our lawyers amongst the best in the region. However, we also have some members of the team who specialise in either contentious or non-contentious work and for this reason we will be able to accommodate you if your experience is from either or both areas.

The team regularly advises on high value projects for both the public and private sector clients across a diverse range of sectors including energy, retail, housing, education and student accommodation to name just a few. On the contentious side, we have a large volume of work ranging from court proceedings, and adjudication to mediation.



Open plan and agile!

The Construction team operates within a modern open plan environment with agile and flexible working opportunities.



What sort of person we're looking for

Commercial solicitors who can work very closely with clients and provide first class practical advice, so we are looking for someone who focused on providing a service and who is technically proficient in construction work. We want someone who is constantly learning and wanting to develop their technical skills. However, in addition to that, we want someone who can help us to continue with the rapid growth of the Unit. We don't believe in standing still so all our team are encouraged to get out there, raise their profile and network in order to help grow the department and promote their career prospects.



Why you should talk to us

The work is great, yes, the team are friendly, supportive and it's a great environment in which to gain high calibre commercial experience. But if you feel stilted in your current firm, and perhaps the opportunities for director/partner are limited where you are, or even that you feel you have no freedom or power over your career - then you should approach us for a confidential chat. We are one of the big 6, but we are distinctive.



Necessary qualifications

3-8 years pqe in either with contentious or non-contentious construction, or a mix.

Lipson Lloyd Jones Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. Please note our advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the minimum level of experience required. However we are happy to consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary to fulfill this kind of work.

Company

No two candidates are the same, so recruitment should never be a numbers game. Offering a unique blend of insight, professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm, the accent at Lipson Lloyd-Jones is on ensuring the perfect chemistry between client and candidate.

Lipson Lloyd-Jones has been a major player in the legal recruitment sector since 1987, but our philosophy has changed little since then. In a marketplace increasingly populated by faceless web sites and mega-agencies, Lipson Lloyd-Jones has remained resolutely independent, the human face of recruitment, fully committed to treating each candidate as an individual.

Our mission is to match the right candidate to the right job. Simple? With our wealth of experience, focus, contacts and understanding of the legal recruitment milieu, it can be.
