If you're a Paralegal with experience in Construction or Projects, you'll know how valuable it is to be close to the work rather than sitting on the sidelines.
If your current role feels heavily process-driven, with limited exposure to the legal and commercial side of matters, this is an opportunity to step into something more involved.
I'm working with a well-regarded City law firm looking to bring in an experienced Construction Paralegal to support their busy and growing team.
The Role
You'll be supporting on a broad mix of contentious and non-contentious construction matters, including:
Assisting on construction disputes (adjudication, litigation support)
Supporting on contract drafting and amendments (JCT, NEC)
Document review and bundle preparation
Managing case files and supporting fee earners on live matters
Liaising with clients, experts, and internal teams
You'll gain exposure to a range of projects across sectors including commercial, residential, and infrastructure.
Why this role stands out
High-quality City firm work with strong client exposure
Opportunity to develop across both contentious and non-contentious matters
Close working relationship with experienced Associates and Partners
Clear progression opportunities, including potential route to qualification
Competitive London salary
What they're looking for
Minimum 3 years' Paralegal experience, ideally within Construction
Familiarity with construction contracts (JCT/NEC beneficial)
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
A genuine interest in Construction law
The reality
This will suit someone who wants to move into a role where they're more involved in the substance of matters, not just supporting from the background.
If you're open to a confidential conversation, I'm happy to run through the role in more detail and how it compares to your current position
