We are looking for an Associate/Senior Associate non-contentious construction lawyer to join our national Construction team. The team continues to act for a wide range of clients on a varied portfolio of projects spanning sectors including retail, energy and finance. This is an opportunity to get involved in high quality, complex work, building a really firm foundation in construction and engineering contracts and to gain valuable experience.
You will be based in a supportive and friendly team, and be able to work closely with our partners and other lawyers within the team and beyond, giving you a more rounded perspective. You will be involved in a variety of work and will have the opportunity to build your expertise in a number of key sectors. You will be joining a team with a genuinely national approach, so although you will have a “base” location, you will have the opportunity to work with the full wider non-contentious construction team.
We’ll expect you to be involved in business development and you will be encouraged to participate in networking and marketing activities. We are highly sector and client focused, so spending time in the business community and getting to know and understand the clients you support will be part and parcel of your general role at Clarke Willmott.

We value hard working team players, but equally value and promote a positive culture with a strong work-life balance.

A career at Clarke Willmott will feel different to other law firms. We thrive on our individual differences and diversity because as a team, we are united by our shared values and mutual respect.
