Our property litigation team is growing, and we are committed to further recruitment. We are seeking a bright and inquisitive lawyer, from NQ+ level, to join our exceptional Bristol-based team, where you can enjoy the benefits of our newly refurbished office.

About us

As a Top 100 UK law firm, we are known for the quality of our work and our people. With offices in Bristol, Birmingham, London, and Watford, we serve our national clients effectively. We are ranked in Chambers and Legal 500 across various areas, with team members receiving individual recognition.

The Bristol office team includes 3 partners, supported by a senior associate, 2 solicitors, a trainee, and 2 paralegals. Our wider team in London and Watford offers opportunities to collaborate across offices. We value career progression, and most team members have worked together since qualifying.

The role

As part of our larger real estate department, our property litigation team is friendly and welcoming, with regular social gatherings. Your workload will include commercial landlord and tenant disputes, lease renewals, advice under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, serving notices such as break notices, and advising on disputes over freehold property, including restrictive covenants and easements. You are not expected to have experience in all these areas.

We work for both landlords and tenants, providing experience from both perspectives. You may develop a niche or maintain a broad practice, including sectors like telecommunications, agriculture, ecclesiastical, and infrastructure.

Our supportive supervision structure allows you to develop confidence in managing your own caseload at your own pace. You will work with clients across sectors such as education, health, charities, and corporate occupiers, ensuring varied and interesting work.

We foster a culture of teamwork and collaboration. The variety and quality of work will support your professional growth within the firm.

Where will I be working?

We operate a hybrid working model, encouraging junior lawyers to spend 3 days a week in our Bristol office to benefit from supervision and guidance. We are open to discussing individual hybrid working arrangements.

If you require adjustments to be considered for this role, please contact our recruiter, and we will accommodate your needs.
