Our client is a well-known City practice, now looking for a Professional Support Lawyer to join its Legal 500 listed Construction team.
They are looking for someone with broad experience of construction, to include in particular knowledge of the Building Safety Act, Fire Safety Act 2021 and an understanding of the government's new rights of redress in relation to construction.
The areas mentioned are changing and updating regularly and the successful applicant will be responsible for keeping the team and the firm's clients abreast of developments, alongside more general construction PSL duties, such as:
- Maintaining and developing precedents
- Maintaining existing practice notes and draft new ones
- Supporting and developing junior members of the team in their day to day work
- Designing and implementing systems of delivery for knowledge collection
- Preparing and delivering legal training to colleagues
This is an excellent opportunity to join a thriving construction team and make a real difference to the department.
Applicants should have a minimum of 5yrs PQE, ideally as an existing construction PSL but possibly as a current construction fee earner in a leading firm looking to make the move into a support role.
Whilst this will ideally be a full-time role, the firm may also consider part-time for the right candidate.
A strong academic background, including a 2:1 degree is important.
Competitive salary with excellent benefits including private health care, 25 days holiday, many others.
