Are you a UK qualified construction disputes solicitor with a desire to work In-house for a progressive and ambitious international organisation? Do you feel confident to work independently, taking ownership of your own projects and caseload, liaising with contacts and senior stakeholders on a daily basis? Are you able to work from their prestigious offices in Leeds two days per week? If so, please read on…….

\n
This is a fantastic and rare opportunity for a qualified disputes lawyer to join an established and highly regarded In-house legal team, working for a global player in the engineering consultancy space. Ideally, you'll have at least 2 years PQE gained in construction disputes - candidates with Professional Indemnity experience are especially welcome to apply.
\n
\n
The work and projects are of an exceptional quality, and this is a truly commercial position where you will be immersed in significant projects in an environment alive with innovation and possibility. Those candidates with solid legal skills and a creative mind will flourish and much of this role involves education and advice. You'll be encouraged to use your critical thinking and emotional intelligence to help solve legal and commercial problems, as a member of the integral legal team.
\n
\n
The role offers a competitive salary in line with lawyers with 2-7 years PQE in a relevant discipline. There is a car allowance and discretionary bonus, along with healthcare and a generous pension contribution.
\n
\n
You'll be working alongside lawyers with a stellar pedigree and profile, dealing in excellent quality of work where work life balance is tangible. If you are currently considering a move from the restrictions of a law firm environment, these roles come along infrequently. Equally, if you are currently In-house and are looking to explore the next stage in your career, this may well offer you a progressive step in terms of autonomy, quality of work and independent commercial accountability and responsibility.
