Job Description:

Non-Contentious Construction Solicitor| Associate | Senior Associate – 2-6 PQE

Associate / Senior Associate | High Quality Development Work | Leading London Practice

London | 2-6 PQE | Hybrid Working

Lex Exec is supporting an excellent opportunity for a Non-Contentious Construction Associate or Senior Associate to join a highly regarded London construction practice.

This role offers the chance to work on a broad range of sophisticated non-contentious construction matters with a strong emphasis on complex real estate development projects and premium quality client work.

The successful candidate will join a well-established and collaborative team advising on high-value developments, major real estate transactions and strategically important construction projects across a range of sectors.

The Opportunity

You will advise on a wide variety of non-contentious construction matters including:

  • Construction aspects of large-scale development projects
  • Development agreements and construction documentation
  • Real estate-led transactional support
  • Consultant appointments and collateral warranties
  • Procurement and project structuring matters
  • Negotiation of bespoke construction contracts

The role offers regular exposure to sophisticated clients, high-profile projects and close collaboration with recognised specialists within both construction and real estate.

The Ideal Candidate

You are likely to have:

  • 2-6 years PQE
  • Strong non-contentious construction experience gained within a respected London or national firm
  • Experience advising on development and real estate-led construction matters
  • Excellent technical drafting skills
  • Strong commercial awareness
  • A collaborative and proactive approach

This opportunity would particularly suit a lawyer seeking to deepen their specialisation within non-contentious construction while working within a supportive and highly regarded team environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • High quality non-contentious construction workload
  • Strong pipeline of premium development work
  • Collaborative and well-established team
  • Excellent progression prospects
  • Hybrid working structure
  • Competitive salary and bonus structure
  • Strong focus on culture, wellbeing and long-term development

The Package

The successful candidate can expect:

  • Benchmarked competitive salary
  • Performance-related bonus potential
  • Hybrid working arrangement
  • Private medical and dental cover
  • Pension and income protection
  • Enhanced family leave policies
  • Generous annual leave allowance
  • Wellbeing and recognition initiatives
