NQ Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor

(Bristol based) Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor for London relocators. 0-1PQE. £72,000

We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious (ideally London trained) NQ-1PQE Solicitor to join our client's highly regarded national non-contentious construction team based in Bristol. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-respected team with a wide variety of interesting work and clients, and a real opportunity to grow and develop your own practice. We are still keen to hear from anyone who has trained at a reputable Legal500 city law firm.

The practice

Their non-contentious construction practice is truly comprehensive in scope and features leading work on a national scale. They advise on nationally important infrastructure projects, such as energy generation (primarily through renewable sources), social infrastructure, regeneration and iconic development projects, mixed use and residential development, commercial and logistics projects, and major retail developments.

Their work ranges from initial procurement advice and legal project management to negotiating complex construction procurement agreements. They also work closely with their contentious construction, major projects, energy, commercial real estate, banking, and project finance teams.

Given our client's broader strategic focus on the impact of decarbonisation, urban dynamics, and digitalisation, they foresee significant growth of the non-contentious construction work stream. In particular, we would love to hear from candidates with an interest in one or more of the following areas:

Technical skills and experience

• You will have gained experience of non-contentious construction matters at a well-respected practice either through a seat during your training contract or post-qualification.
• You will be versatile and able to work across a range of different matters across different sectors.
• You will be highly motivated and interested in getting involved in a broad range of work, working on different project types and across different sectors.
• You will have worked on matters in relation to one or more of their key sectors and be committed to the ongoing growth of their sector expertise.
• You will have good project management skills.

Your career development

Like all their lawyers, you will benefit from their multi-award winning career development programme. At each stage of your career, this provides you with clear expectations of your role and what it takes to progress, high-quality clients and work, thorough assessment and individual feedback from a range of experienced colleagues, robust technical training, and reward for your contribution, progression, and potential.

The firm offer extremely competitive benefits and rewards that focus on your physical, mental and emotional health including:

• Recognition awards.
• Performance bonuses.
• Enhanced parental leave.
• Private medical insurance.
• Ability to buy or sell annual leave.
