Overview

A rare chance to take the lead in building something exceptional.

Are you a senior construction lawyer ready to lead, grow and shape your own team? This is a stand-out opportunity to head up the Birmingham-based construction practice of a prestigious full-service London law firm.

The firm’s highly rated, 10+ partner construction team in London has gone from strength to strength in recent years, advising developers, funders, local authorities and registered social landlords across the public and private sectors. It has played a pivotal role in some of the biggest house-building deals in the UK.

With an established core of partners already based in Birmingham across other practice areas, this appointment is a strategic, high-profile hire – adding critical mass and extending the firm’s impressive construction footprint.

Why This Role

Lead & Grow: Step into a leadership role with a clear mandate to build and develop a Birmingham-based construction team.

Real Progression: Genuine prospects for career advancement within the partnership, with clear examples of partners progressing into full equity.

Flexibility: Hybrid and flexible working arrangements on offer.

Support: A strong platform and experienced London team behind you.

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be a construction lawyer (ideally non-contentious) with the drive to take on a leadership role and build a team.

Perhaps you’re already a partner but seeking your own platform and autonomy. Or you might be a highly ambitious managing associate, legal director or No. 2 in a team, ready to step up directly into partnership. Either way, you’ll find plenty of support, freedom and opportunity to make this role your own.

The Firm

Well-run, client-focused and entrepreneurial, this is a firm with national and international clients and a strong reputation for legal excellence. Its culture is collaborative, people-focused and profitable – a place where talented lawyers thrive.
