We are working with a highly regarded forward-thinking regional practice with deep roots across East Anglia who are expanding their award-winning Construction team and looking for a Senior Associate to help shape its next chapter of success.

You will work hand-in-hand with highly regarded Partners on a diverse portfolio of complex, high-value construction matters, from multi-million-pound adjudications and TCC litigation to urgent injunctions and strategic advisory work. You'll be at the sharp end of resolving disputes that shape skylines, protect reputations and influence the future of the built environment.

From day one, you'll take ownership of your own caseload, advising a mix of clients across the supply chain, from national developers and main contractors to niche specialist subcontractors and consultants. You'll also have the opportunity to expand your skill set into non-contentious work, including contract drafting, risk management, and project strategy, ensuring your practice remains balanced and commercially impactful.

The ideal candidate will be a confident, commercially astute lawyer with proven experience in contentious construction law. Familiarity with JCT and NEC contracts will be advantageous, but what truly matters is your ability to think strategically, communicate clearly and build trusted relationships with clients. If you have a flair for business development and enjoy mentoring others, you'll find plenty of room to lead and grow here.

In return, you'll join a firm that invests in its people and believes success should never come at the expense of balance. Expect a competitive salary, genuine flexibility and benefits include 28 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), financial bonuses, tailored health schemes, life insurance and many more great benefits.

If you're looking for more than just another role and if you want to be part of a team that values your expertise and gives you the platform to make a tangible impact, this is the opportunity for you!
