Senior Construction Disputes Lawyer – Associate/Senior Associate
Manchester or Birmingham (Hybrid) | £65,000 – £75,000
♀️ Genuinely flexible working | Quality infrastructure projects | Purpose-driven firm
I’m working on a brilliant opportunity for a Construction Disputes Lawyer to join one of the most values-driven, flexible firms in the Midlands.
This role sits within a thriving, high-performing team advising on major infrastructure projects, housing schemes and construction litigation – often for local authorities, housing associations and public sector bodies.
⚡ The role in a nutshell:
* Advising on and managing a wide range of construction disputes
* Acting in adjudications, mediations and proceedings in the TCC
* Working on complex issues like delay claims, PFI/PPI, NEC and JCT disputes
* No business development targets – high-quality work already in place
* Strategic input welcomed; mentoring juniors encouraged
* Massive variety in the caseload, with room to grow into a leadership role
Why this firm?
* True flexibility – hybrid, remote, or part-time arrangements are fully supported (yes, really!)
* B Corp accredited – social impact and purpose at the heart of what they do
* High retention – a strong, supportive team with incredibly low turnover
* Incredible culture – yoga, gym, café on site and genuine investment in your wellbeing
* Career progression – clear routes to senior leadership
Ideal for a 4–7 PQE construction litigator with solid experience in contentious matters (delay claims, NEC/JCT contracts, adjudications etc.).
Sector experience with housing or local authorities is a bonus, but not essential.
The firm will support you with flexibility, cover travel costs for occasional team meetups and make sure you feel part of something bigger.
If you’d like to hear more (confidentially, of course), feel free to drop me a message!
