Litigation Lawyer - Eversheds, Leeds

We have an opportunity for a Solicitor to join our Construction team based in Leeds.

You will be a key member of this growing and highly regarded team and will work on construction and engineering projects, both contentious and non-contentious. There will be considerable contact with external clients as well as our many "internal clients" (other teams within Eversheds, such as the real estate and banking teams). You will have the opportunity to participate in Eversheds' effective and focussed training programmes.

You will be responsible (with appropriate supervision) for running client files and undertaking appropriate management of client relationships. You will have the opportunity to work with senior members of the team on major transactions and disputes, many of which have a national and international element. Day to day work includes drafting and negotiating contract documentation, advising on contract structures, running adjudications, arbitrations and litigations and conducting negotiations. You will also have the opportunity to be involved in business development opportunities and events.

The ideal candidate will ideally be 3 to 5 years PQE with experience of construction, however we are happy to hear from individuals who can demonstrate the skills, attitude and academic ability we are looking for.

To be successful in this role you will possess good academic qualifications, be enthusiastic, have a good team ethic, be an excellent communicator and a quick learner.
