Job description

Real Estate Litigation Solicitor | 5+ PQE | Cardiff

TSR Legal is working with a highly regarded, award winning commercial law firm that is opening a brand new office in Cardiff.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the firm at the start of its Cardiff journey and play a key role in establishing and growing the new office. The firm has an excellent reputation for delivering high quality legal advice to businesses, property owners, developers, investors, public sector organisations and private clients across the UK.

The new Cardiff office represents a significant investment in the firm's continued growth and provides an opportunity for lawyers to join an ambitious national practice whilst enjoying the lifestyle and professional opportunities that Cardiff has to offer.

The Role

The firm is seeking an experienced Real Estate Litigation Solicitor with 5+ years’ PQE to join its Property Litigation team and become part of the new Cardiff office.

You will advise on a broad range of property related disputes and contentious asset management issues, acting for owners, developers, investors, funders, asset managers, landlords, operators and other significant property stakeholders.

The work is varied and commercially focused, covering matters including landlord and tenant disputes, lease renewals, dilapidations, forfeiture, possession, service charge disputes, development and land disputes, overage, rights of light and disputes arising from major property portfolios.

You will have the opportunity to work on sophisticated matters alongside experienced specialists, whilst also playing an important role in developing the firm's presence in Cardiff.

The Ideal Candidate

You will be a Solicitor with at least 5 years’ PQE and established experience in Real Estate or Property Litigation.

You should have strong technical knowledge and a good understanding of litigation procedure, together with the ability to manage matters independently and provide clear, commercially focused advice.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• Excellent drafting and analytical skills
• A sound understanding of litigation procedure and strategy
• The ability to manage a caseload effectively
• Strong commercial awareness and client service skills
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• The confidence and enthusiasm to contribute to the growth of a new office

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Joining at this stage offers something different from a traditional lateral move.

You will be joining an established and highly regarded firm whilst having the opportunity to help shape its new Cardiff office. There is scope to develop relationships, build a local client base and play a meaningful part in the firm's growth in Wales.

The firm offers high quality work, access to experienced colleagues and the resources of an established UK practice, combined with the opportunity and visibility that comes with being part of a new office.

Cardiff also offers an attractive professional and lifestyle proposition, with a strong legal and commercial community, excellent transport links and a lower cost of living than many of the UK's larger legal centres.

Flexible hybrid working is available.
