The return of Construction Solicitors

In BCL Legal’s offices both Birmingham and Manchester we have noticed a staggering rise in non-contentious construction positions. A number of the large international, national and regional practices are now recruiting for qualified solicitors with non-contentious construction experience to join their teams. There are opportunities at various levels of PQE to undertake work for clients across a broad range of sectors.

So where have these opportunities come from? It seems businesses that build things have decided that they have no choice but to build things if they wish to continue trading. Others it seems are noticing easier trading conditions.

After many years with no available positions for construction solicitors we are enjoying being able to contact people with such a plethora of options. This seems like the same kind of revival as we saw in commercial property last year and we are expecting that there will be options for individuals to make fantastic career moves.

So what do you need to do in order to benefit from the bonanza of opportunity? If you are a qualified solicitor with experience in construction law, even if that experience is mixed in with litigation or projects work then pick up the phone and talk to the consultants at BCL Legal. As preferred suppliers to most of the leading firms in the Midlands and North West, BCL are perfectly positioned to advise on available roles and assist with applications.
