Non-Contentious Construction Lawyer – Global Law Firm

Location: Manchester

Seniority: Associate / Senior Associate

Practice Area: Non-Contentious Construction & Energy (Non-Contentious)

About the Role

A leading global law firm is seeking an ambitious Non-Contentious Construction Lawyer to join its busy and expanding Manchester office. You will work as part of a highly regarded national team, working on a uniquely broad range of construction projects including advising on major high profile UK projects as well as exposure to international work.

About You

- Qualified solicitor with ideally 2– 6 years’ PQE (or equivalent) from a respected construction background. (Candidates outside of this range of PQE who can also demonstrate the necessary skills and experience will also be considered).

- Strong background in non-contentious construction, with experience drafting and advising on project documentation.

- Exposure to the energy sector—renewables, power, or broader infrastructure – would be desirable but not essential

- Excellent drafting skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to manage client relationships confidently.

- Team-focused, proactive, and motivated to contribute to a growing Manchester presence within a global platform.

What’s on Offer

- The chance to join a top-tier international firm with an exceptional portfolio of complex, high-profile projects.

- Competitive salary and benefits, consistent with the firm’s global standards.

- Genuine career progression and bespoke training.

- A collaborative, inclusive environment with strong local leadership and global support.
