Major UK firm firm seeks to appoint a projects associate to join their busy and highly rated projects team in Cambridge.

Our client is a stable, values driven firm with an exceptional reputation in East Anglia. The firm is home to a market leading projects team which is regularly advising on high value and high profile projects often with national importance.

In this key role, which would suit a commercial projects lawyer with at least 2-3 years PQE, you will be acting for universities, the Ministry of Defence and other Government departments - MCA, DWP and Homes England - and private sector consortia bidding on projects.

You therefore need to be a confident self-starter and happy to take own initiative. Transactions will be varied and cover a range of sectors.

The projects and clients are based across the UK and the role will include

• drafting and negotiating project documentation such as project agreements, high value commercial contracts, facilities management contracts and construction contracts;
• liaising with other specialists in the firm to ensure a seamless legal service;
• undertaking and co-ordinating project management;
• actively participating in business development initiatives and marketing events, including preparation of tenders, attending pitches, writing articles, contributing to seminars and attending client hospitality events;
• advising on the terms of the procurement process and drafting contract notices, drafting SQs and ITTs and advising on evaluation methodologies; and
• mentoring more junior members of the team.

This is a superb new opportunity which would suit a lawyer with relevant projects and commercial law experience gained with a London firm or another recognised regional or national firm. You'll benefit from excellent support and opportunities to develop your skills in a very friendly, open and team led environment as well as a throughput of challenging and exciting projects work. Excellent competitive financial package.
