A Top 100 UK law firm is seeking a 2–6 PQE Commercial Contracts Solicitor to join its expanding London Projects team.

This is a sector-led commercial role focused on advising large public and quasi-public organisations, particularly:

*Registered Providers of social housing
*Local authorities
*Public bodies
*Regulated and not-for-profit organisations
The work sits at the intersection of procurement, operational contracting and long-term infrastructure delivery — not pure corporate commercial work.

The Work You will advise on a broad mix of commercial and procurement matters, including:
*Goods and services agreements
*IT supply and support contracts
*Outsourcing and management agreements
*PFI / PPP framework documentation
*Public procurement advice for contracting authorities
*Contract structuring and risk allocation
The role combines drafting, negotiation and advisory work with significant client contact and responsibility.

This is hands-on commercial work for organisations delivering essential public services.

The Team
You’ll join a dedicated procurement and commercial contracts team within a wider Real Estate & Projects platform.
The firm has a long-standing reputation in:
*Social housing
*Regeneration and development
*Public sector advisory
*Infrastructure and long-term asset management
The team operates with genuine autonomy and partner access, offering strong progression for ambitious associates.

Hybrid working is in place, with a minimum of three days per week in the London office.

What They’re Looking For *2–6 years’ PQE in commercial contracts
*Exposure to public procurement desirable
*Experience advising local authorities or public sector clients advantageous
*IT contract experience welcomed
*Strong drafting and negotiation skills
*Comfortable running files and managing deadlines
*Commercially aware and client-facing
An interest in the social housing / not-for-profit sector would be beneficial.

Why Consider This Move?*Clear sector specialism with stable, long-term clients
*Early responsibility and client exposure
*Strong pipeline of public sector and infrastructure work
*Collaborative, non-hierarchical team structure
*National platform without an international corporate environment
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys technically strong commercial work but prefers a sector-focused, relationship-driven practice over highly transactional corporate mandates.
