A leading legal practice in Newcastle has a wonderful opportunity for an outstanding property litigation solicitor. My client is looking for a solicitor who is at least 4 years qualified with direct property litigation experience, although depending on the particular specific experience that a candidate can bring to the role, my client may consider those who are slightly outside that level of experience.

Candidates applying for the role can expect to be involved in a wide-ranging disputes role dealing with both commercial and residential property matters. Specifically, the successful candidate will be involved in work concerning, amongst other things, assured/assured shorthold/regulated tenancies; 1954 Act lease renewals; dilapidations; possessions; telecommunications; trespass issues and agricultural issues.

My client is consistently recognised as having one of the best working cultures and is always acknowledged for the opportunities provided to both existing and new colleagues. Hybrid working is in operation with my client's policy being 2-3 days a week in the office with the remainder being working from home. There are also plenty of opportunities for people to get involved in extracurricular activities, including various sporting and charity-based initiatives.

This vacancy is only suitable for candidates who are qualified lawyers within the England and Wales jurisdiction.

A thriving West Yorkshire firm is currently recruiting two experienced Real Estate lawyers to work in both their Leeds and Bradford offices in a key strategic role which offers a fantastic opportunity for someone to significantly develop their career working with an exceptionally talented team.

My client is looking to meet with real estate / commercial property lawyers who have proven and widespread knowledge of the sector. Ideally, applicants will have experience dealing with asset management, including agreements for leases, leases and surrenders, as well as development (commercial and residential) and investment (acting for individuals and institutional landlords). Most importantly though, applicants will need to show that they have experience of supervising and developing less experienced team members as this will be a key element of the role and a big part of my client's future growth plans.

This role would not be suitable for newly qualified lawyers or lawyers with up to 2 years of post-qualification experience. My client is willing to consider candidates with exceptional experience in the sector at the level of 3PQE. However, supervisory experience will remain essential regardless of a candidate's level of qualification.

Located right in the centre of the growing legal landscape in Leeds, my client is a boutique property litigation firm that after a relatively short period of time in operation has already attracted a significant client following which has in turn resulted in high quality instructions.

Due to good and consistent periods of growth, there is an opportunity for a property litigation solicitor to come onboard and help contribute to my client's plans for continued growth and to help them on their path to becoming the go to partner for all contentious property matters.

Working for my client would see you undertake a wide range of contentious property matters across a number of sectors including residential, commercial, transport and education just to name but a few. As part of a small collegiate team, you will receive top quality instructions and have the opportunity to work alongside colleagues with significant and sought-after expertise.

Candidates can be sure that they will receive support and development throughout their time with my client, however the successful applicant will be someone who is also capable of working on their own initiative and who can build upon existing client relationships as well as developing new ones.

In order to be considered for this role, candidates will need to be either newly qualified solicitors who have undertaken a seat in property litigation as part of their training contract / alternative legal training. This role is also open to candidates with post-qualification experience handling contentious property matters.

My client can offer a good work/life balance as well as plenty of opportunities for career progression, as well as lucrative benefits. Salary is very competitive but will be bespoke depending on a candidates level of experience.
