The Team
The Real Estate Division is one of Addleshaw Goddard's largest, comprising a team in excess of 250. Within Construction nationally, there are over 100 fee earners, 24 Partners and one Knowledge Lawyer (focussing on contentious work).
Addleshaw Goddard won the 'Real Estate Team of the Year' award at the Legal Business Awards 2020.
The work of the Construction group is hugely varied and includes Development, Energy, Social and Economic Infrastructure, PFI/PPP and Water and Utilities projects. The team covers the whole range of construction, engineering and procurement issues across both public and private sectors. We are also experts in dispute resolution and have successfully managed some of the largest disputes in the sector. We currently have many international arbitrations ongoing, significant cases in the TCC and have huge experience in adjudication. The team has significant growth aspirations based on its existing pipeline and other strategic opportunities, making this an exciting time to join.
Culturally the team is supportive, motivated and down to earth and works closely together to find innovative solutions and provide the best service possible. Addleshaw Goddard provides a strong, collaborative and friendly culture where we expect the best of each other. Our people fulfil their potential in an environment where they are developed and valued. We ensure everyone is given the opportunity to flourish, learn and grow.

As an employee at AG you will benefit from a flexible and agile culture. We are committed to making agile working accessible to all, balancing our employees' needs with the requirements of the team, the firm and its clients and living true to the values in our mindful business charter.
What does this role entail?
Where and when will you work?
We are open to discussing the most appropriate pattern of work (be that location, hours, part time or full time) with you. The role will involve you working with all of our national offices and some travel on occasions will be required. We operate a flexible, hybrid working system and we look forward to discussing what works best for both of us for this role.
Who will you be?
You will be an experienced Construction lawyer (7 PQE+) seeking a change in role or a current senior Knowledge Lawyer/PSL with experience of working in a non-contentious Construction role. The successful candidate's grade (Knowledge Lawyer/Senior Knowledge Lawyer/Principal Knowledge Lawyer) will be confirmed and will be commensurate with the individual's experience and expertise.
Experience of JCT contracts/projects is key. Broader experience in other areas such as engineering contracts, energy and international projects and PFI/PPP and of other contracts (such as NEC, FIDIC, MF/1, IChemE and bespoke EPC contracts) would be helpful but not an absolute requirement. You will have a good knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2002 and associated legislation or be prepared to develop expertise in that area. The primary need is for a candidate with non-contentious experience. However, we would be pleased to hear from candidates able to offer a mixture of non-contentious and contentious experience.
Fundamentally, you need enthusiasm, resilience and ambition. That is, the ambition to improve yourself with the best possible work, making the most of the opportunities you will be given, whilst still having time to enjoy life outside work. You should be comfortable with the variety of work on offer, willing to embrace it and not be daunted.
We want to attract candidates who want to know how to become successful as part of a team culture.
You must have demonstrable academics or relevant experience or interests.
You can be sure that appropriate levels of responsibility will be given to you. In return we expect that you will welcome this and see this as an opportunity for your personal development.
What can you expect?
An attractive, market-leading pay package.
A supportive team culture where we all look out for each other, at all levels.
Regular engagement with senior lawyers.
We aim to provide a positive experience to everyone who works here. Therefore, we offer the following benefits:
OUR APPROACH: IMAGINE THE BEST YOU CAN BE
Everything we've accomplished can be traced back to our people and the way we work. Our reputation is something we are proud of, and constantly invest in.
Here, you'll do high calibre work, with high-character colleagues who care for one another and our clients.
Are you up for the challenge?
