A well-regarded West End law firm is hiring a Senior Associate to support a busy pipeline of building safety and wider contentious construction work. This is a genuinely hands-on role in a close-knit team where senior associates are trusted to run matters, take real client ownership, and play a visible role in developing junior lawyers.What you'll do Lead and progress contentious construction matters with a particular focus on Building Safety-driven disputes. Handle a broad disputes toolkit (often including adjudication, alongside other formal dispute processes). Take day-to-day ownership of files: strategy, drafting, evidence, and client management. Stay close to market developments and case law and bring practical insight into live matters. Act as a team leader: mentoring juniors, sharing know-how, and helping maintain a high-performing culture. What you'll need Typically 6-8 PQE in contentious construction (flexible where experience is strong). Credible exposure to Building Safety work (a genuine priority for the team). Strong technical fundamentals across construction disputes and confidence running files. A collaborative, team-first approach and the motivation to keep developing (this is not a "quiet 9-5" seat). UK practising rights (the team is open-minded on background, including common law qualifiers who can practise in the UK). The team Small, high-trust group with a strong office culture and real camaraderie. Senior associates are encouraged to be present and visible-both for client delivery and junior development. You'll work closely with an experienced senior lawyer, giving strong support without micromanagement. The firm Offers a clear progression framework with two credible tracks: Legal Director (for those who want top-quality work without a heavy BD focus), and Partnership (for those driving longer-term progression). Known for developing from within and supporting lawyers as they step up. Package & working style (at a glance) Salary: up to c. £110,000 (depending on fit/experience) Bonus: discretionary, recognising both billable contribution and wider input Hours: billable expectation in the region of 1300 (plus meaningful non-billable/BD contribution) Hybrid: more office-led than most teams; WFH possible up to 2 days for senior hires, but the team generally enjoys being in. If you want a senior role with real autonomy, strong building safety work, and a genuinely supportive (and enjoyable) team environment, this one is worth a confidential chat.
