Description
Who we are
Our award-winning construction practice is, justifiably, one of the leaders in the construction legal field; equally comfortable acting on landmark national infrastructure projects or complex regeneration deals and our work takes us across the globe, wherever our clients are active.
Our national offering is a 'life span' service for all construction/engineering related matters, from initial structuring, procurement advice, setting up contracts, appointments, joint ventures, and development agreements with backup specialists in employment, energy, property and tax. We are also able to support our clients on risk management and disputes with our strong contentious team.
We are integrated with our colleagues in real estate, tax and planning. The team combines legal excellence, commercial acumen, and an impressive track record together with a deep understanding of the construction industry. A number of our team are ranked as experts and leading practitioners in their field by Chambers UK and Legal 500.
Where you'll work
You'll form part of an enthusiastic, ambitious, and growing local team of ten solicitors and one trainee solicitor in Manchester. You will be supported by strong leadership to enable you to develop your understanding of the construction sector in the Northwest, nationally and internationally. We work on a collaborative basis which means you will be encouraged to share your ideas and get involved in the team's initiatives.
The Manchester team advise on contentious and non-contentious construction legal issues for private and public sector clients including national and regional contractors and developers, central government, local authorities, and registered providers. We are ranked in Tier 2 for Northwest Construction in Legal 500 and in Tier 4 in Chambers and Partners and Katie Saunders is Notable Practitioner in Chambers and a Leading Individual in Legal 500 and Tom Holroyd is named as a Next Generation Partner. Katie won real estate lawyer of year 2023 in the Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse awards.
Recent transactions include advising on retrofit projects to reduce energy use in existing buildings. Advising Salix Homes on the Greenhaus sustainable apartment development part of Salford's 50-acre regeneration with English Cities Fund. We are advising the Offsite Homes Alliance on the procurement and delivery of a construction new build and modular framework. Our contentious work includes advising a regional contractor on liability issues following structural failures at a care home and disputes over a power station in the Falkland Islands.
We are actively involved in the Constructing Excellence Manchester Best Practice Group and promote Construction Best Practice through our seminars and webinars held at our offices on a monthly basis. Nationally we are the forefront of best practice in promoting use of modern methods of construction in housing development and are leading on advising on the changes to fire safety for residential accommodation under the Building Safety Act.
As part of the national department, you can also expect to work alongside colleagues on work which is being led out of our other UK offices including national and international real estate transactions.
