THE ROLE:
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced Commercial Projects Solicitor to join a highly regarded Projects team handling a broad range of complex commercial contracts and strategic projects. Acting for a diverse client base across the public and private sectors, you will advise on high-value commercial agreements, major projects, and long-term contractual arrangements. The role will involve drafting, negotiating, and structuring sophisticated commercial contracts, managing matters from instruction through to completion, and delivering pragmatic, commercially focused advice. You will also play an active role in mentoring junior lawyers, supporting business development initiatives and contributing to the continued growth and success of the team.

THE CANDIDATE:
Applications are welcomed from qualified Solicitors with a minimum of 10 years' PQE and substantial commercial contracts experience.
