Addleshaw Goddard LLP in Manchester is seeking a Supervising Lawyer to lead and develop junior real estate lawyers, focusing on supervision of live matters and training rather than handling personal caseload.

You will mentor 0–3 PQE lawyers, support knowledge management, and contribute to the firm's high-value transactional real estate work, with opportunities to influence practice in a collaborative, supportive environment.

Qualifications

Seven years' PQE in private practice or in-house real estate.
Strong technical and communication skills.
Experience supervising, coaching and giving feedback.

Responsibilities

Provide supervision, teaching and coaching to junior lawyers (0–3 PQE) across landlord and tenant, property management, sales and purchases, development and client account work, reviewing drafts, providing feedback and helping build their legal judgement, commercial awareness and confidence.
Support the delivery of high-quality legal work by providing targeted supervision across live matters, helping junior lawyers prioritise workloads, manage deadlines and understand their role within the wider transaction and providing constructive feedback without carrying a personal caseload.
Work closely with partners and lawyers to foster a strong learning culture, identifying knowledge gaps and training needs, promoting the effective use of knowledge resources and legal technology, and contributing over time to wider Real Estate and firmwide knowledge, training and innovation projects.
Provide ad hoc fee-earning support to the Manchester Real Estate team, contributing to project work and client matters as required.
There is also scope to support the Knowledge Lawyers with:
Maintaining and enhancing precedents, playbooks, drafting guidance, checklists and other knowledge resources to drive consistency, quality and efficiency.
Answering fee-earner queries outside of the junior cohort on a range of topics including Land Registry procedures and technical queries.
Designing and delivering training and know-how initiatives, including workshops, updates and practical guidance on core real estate topics, legal developments, market trends and drafting skills, while capturing learning from significant matters and embedding it across the team.
