Junior Legal Counsel

Global Construction Company | London (flexible) / Hybrid | £55,000 - £70,000 + Bonus + Benefits

I'm currently working on a genuinely standout in-house opportunity with a global construction company.

This is an excellent opportunity for a junior construction/projects lawyer looking to move in-house into a highly regarded and collaborative legal team supporting major UK and international infrastructure projects.

The role sits within a sizeable and well-established legal function supporting a global business. The team advises on some of the most high-profile and technically complex projects in the market, with work spanning transport, energy, water, development and infrastructure.

Importantly, this is not a narrow contracts role. The legal team is highly integrated with the business and offers broad exposure across commercial, construction, disputes, governance and international matters over time.

The culture is a major selling point. The team is known for being welcoming, supportive and low ego, with strong work/life balance and flexible working genuinely embedded into the business.

The Role

You will support senior lawyers and the wider business on a broad range of construction and commercial matters, including:

• Consultancy agreements
• Professional appointments
• NDAs
• Collateral warranties
• Novation agreements
• Framework agreements
• General commercial and governance matters

You'll work closely with project teams and senior stakeholders across the business, gaining exposure to high-value and internationally significant projects from an early stage.

About You

This opportunity is likely to suit

• An England & Wales qualified solicitor (or common law equivalent)
• Around NQ-3 PQE
• Experience within construction, projects or infrastructure matters (preferred)
• Candidates from private practice, in-house or public sector backgrounds
• Someone commercially minded, collaborative and keen to develop broadly in-house

Why This Opportunity?

• Exceptional work/life balance
• Broad and varied in-house exposure
• High-quality, internationally recognised projects
• Supportive and highly regarded legal team
• Strong long-term career platform
• Flexible/hybrid working
• Exposure beyond pure construction law over time

The business is also notably open-minded on backgrounds and career paths, and has built a diverse and inclusive legal team.

If this could be of interest, or you'd like a confidential discussion regarding the team and opportunity, please get in touch.
