London | Hybrid Working | Permanent

Harkaye Core Talent is delighted to be partnering with a leading UK law firm to recruit a Principal Associate into its highly regarded Non-Contentious Construction team in London.

• Have a strong background in non-contentious construction law

• Are commercially minded with excellent client relationship skills

• Enjoy working collaboratively on complex, high-value transactions
