A highly regarded UK law firm is seeking a Senior Associate to join its Construction team in the Cardiff office. This is a standout opportunity to take on a senior role within a practice recognised for its technical excellence, commercial focus and consistent top tier rankings across key practice areas. The firm is known for advising leading national and international clients on complex, high value matters, and has earned multiple industry awards reflecting both the quality of its work and its progressive, people focused culture. The Cardiff office continues to grow, offering a genuine platform for senior lawyers looking to take the next step in their career. The construction team advises developers, contractors, employers, consultants and funders on a broad range of projects. This role offers a balanced mix of contentious and non contentious work, with the opportunity to lead on matters and play a visible role in client relationships. You will be involved in drafting and negotiating construction contracts, advising on project delivery and risk, and handling disputes including adjudications. The work will include NEC, JCT and IChemE contracts, alongside bespoke agreements on complex and high value developments, including process plant matters. This role would suit a solicitor with around five plus years PQE who is confident managing both advisory and disputes work, and is ready to step into a more senior position. You will be technically strong, commercially aware and capable of leading matters with minimal supervision, while supporting and mentoring more junior team members. This is an excellent opportunity to join a firm with a strong national reputation, a collaborative and modern culture, and clear progression prospects within a growing Cardiff office.
