A top international law firm in Leeds is seeking two motivated construction and engineering lawyers to join their highly regarded and expanding team. These roles offer the flexibility to focus on contentious work, non‑contentious work, or a blend of both, depending on your strengths and career interests.

About the Role:

This is an excellent opportunity for lawyers with around 3 years’ PQE who want to deepen their expertise in construction and engineering. Applicants can expect to be involved in a wide range of matters across the sector, from traditional development projects to complex work in energy, infrastructure and emerging markets such as student accommodation and build‑to‑rent.

Your work may include major disputes—litigation, arbitration, adjudication and enforcement—as well as drafting and negotiating project documentation and providing strategic advice on risk and delivery.

You’ll work with a diverse client base, including developers, contractors, specialist subcontractors, consultants, public bodies, financial institutions and national and international organisations.
