Construction Solicitor - Dublin
Join a Leading International Law Firm as a Construction Solicitor in Dublin - Hybrid Working Available
About the Firm
I am collaborating with a prominent international law practice with a strong and expanding footprint in Ireland. With their ambitious growth plans, they are seeking a talented Construction Solicitor to join their highly regarded Dublin team. Renowned for advising a diverse client base—developers, contractors, consultants, funders and insurers—on complex, high‑value construction and development projects across various sectors, this firm offers a dynamic environment for ambitious legal professionals.
The Role
This role is ideally suited to a motivated and commercially astute solicitor who thrives on ownership and collaboration. Primarily focused on non‑contentious construction work, with opportunities to support contentious matters as they arise, you will gain exposure to sophisticated drafting and strategic project advice. The firm welcomes candidates across a broad PQE spectrum who demonstrate relevant construction expertise and hold the capacity to manage responsibilities appropriate to their experience level.
Key Responsibilities
Draft, review, and negotiate Development Agreements.
Prepare and advise on construction contracts, including standard forms (RIAI, FIDIC, NEC, JCT) and bespoke agreements.
Draft and negotiate Design Team Appointments.
Prepare collateral warranties, sub‑contracts and other key project documentation.
Advise on procurement strategies, risk allocation and contractual structuring.
Liaise directly with developers, contractors, consultants, funders and insurers.
Support the contentious team with adjudications, disputes and related proceedings as needed.
Manage client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor and ensuring timely, professional deliverables.
Maintain compliance with all regulatory and professional standards.
Candidate Profile
Solicitors with relevant construction experience, ideally gained within a reputable commercial firm.
Demonstrated experience in non‑contentious construction matters; contentious exposure is beneficial but not essential.
Strong drafting capabilities, including detailed advice and complex contractual documentation.
A commercial, problem‑solving approach with a solutions‑oriented mindset.
Ability to manage files and progress matters independently, suitable for supervision depending on experience.
Excellent organisational and time‑management skills.
Proven ability to build and sustain client relationships.
What's on Offer
The opportunity to become part of a forward‑thinking, expanding firm with a strong market reputation.
Exposure to complex, high‑value construction projects across diverse sectors.
A collaborative, supportive team environment fostering professional growth.
Clear pathways for progression and development.
