Job description
An established and forward-thinking UK law firm is expanding its national construction practice with a senior strategic hire for construction in Bristol. As part of the firm's next phase of growth, we are seeking a Legal Director or Partner-level Construction Solicitor to lead this new offering in Bristol. This is an exciting opportunity to shape and grow a regional presence for a national team that already has a strong reputation across London, the East of England and beyond.
This senior construction hire will play a key role in building and leading the construction team in Bristol, with support from an established and highly ranked national group. The role can be tailored to suit specialists in either contentious or non-contentious construction law, though a blended skillset is preferred.
Why apply?
- Due to this being a key area of growth, a client following/book of business is not a pre-requisite for this hire
- You only get one shot at being first and this means you will have true autonomy and final say when it comes to growing this team around you
- Brand new office, in one of the fastest growing legal centres outside of London
- Top quality teams around you from some of the biggest city firms, to leverage client relationships from
- Genuine investment from the firm to build this from grass roots up
The ideal candidate will be:
- Ideally over 10 years PQE with experience in either contentious or non-contentious construction law
- Adept at building and maintain strong client relationships
- Ambitious, driven and looking to take charge of their career
- Keen to grow a high-performing specialist construction team in Bristol
On offer, in addition to leading this growing construction presence, is a clear track to partnership for this high quality individual, support and investment from the firm locally and nationally, a very competitive salary and benefits package and flexible/hybrid working.
This opportunity is also available to relocators from other cities and a relocation package is on offer to support the move for the right person.
