Job description

About The Role

Due to continued strategic growth and high client demand we are looking for an experienced property litigator to join our existing group of property litigators within our highly regarded Disputes team in Cardiff . We work with owners, landlords, tenants, property developers, and housing associations to iron out property disputes. We work flexibly and team members work from home and/or from either of our offices.

You will have a passion for contentious work (primarily contentious property work) and your caseload will be varied. You will handle your own matters with supervision and assist the partners on more complex matters. You’ll also be involved in a range of business development activities. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your career and reputation as part of a growing commercial disputes team.

Key Requirements

• Manage a varied caseload of property litigation matters.
• Experience of advising on commercial landlord and tenant disputes, boundary and access issues, and strategic dispute resolution.
• Work closely with colleagues to resolve complex cases.
• Develop and maintain relationships with clients.
• Pursue continuous professional development opportunities.

What We're Looking For

• Property litigation solicitor with 2 - 7 years' post-qualification experience or equivalent.
• Demonstrable experience and confidence in handling your own caseload and supporting on larger, more complex matters, with appropriate supervision and guidance when required.
• The ability to work collaboratively with others, as part of a large team, but also the confidence to work independently.
• Technically competent and commercially aware.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, clear written presentation, strong organisational skills, good time management, good initiative, and problem-solving ability.
• A strong client focused approach with plenty of drive and enthusiasm to help us to provide an excellent client service

In return we offer:

Flexible approach to work

• A balanced approach to working hours, with the ability to work between home and the office as required through our hybrid working model.

Health and wellbeing

• Health cash plan, life assurance and pension scheme, cycle-to-work scheme, free yoga sessions, subsidised chiropractor visits and regular wellbeing initiatives.

Excellent rewards and benefits

• Competitive salary, generous recruitment referral scheme, enhanced annual leave with the option to buy or sell leave, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, twice-yearly promotion opportunities for lawyers, and an ongoing internal recognition.

A great location and working environment

• Modern city-centre offices with excellent facilities, including an onsite chef in our Cardiff Office.

We are committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment. We encourage equality and diversity and treat all job applicants and colleagues fairly - regardless of age, gender, disability, ethnicity, religion or any religious or cultural beliefs, marital status and civil partnership, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity. We have no tolerance for discrimination.

Here, we can be ourselves, succeed on merit, and grow with people from all walks of life.
