The role

You will have a strong grounding in non-contentious construction law and a clear understanding of the risks associated with development projects. Equally important is the ability to identify, assess, and report on those risks from a lender's perspective.

Seeking an solicitor with a strong background in non-contentious construction
The role will act for funding property development and construction projects

Cross-selling opportunities across property and finance teams

This would suit a lawyer who enjoys the commercial side of construction work and wants to become a specialist adviser to banks, lenders, and development funders rather than focusing solely on traditional construction contracts
