Job description

The Firm
Widely regarded for cultivating a supportive and high-performing workplace, this organisation places strong emphasis on a positive internal culture as a foundation for continued growth. With a commitment to selecting individuals who bring both integrity and exceptional expertise, it creates an environment where people are truly valued. In return, team members can look forward to a rewarding and engaging professional experience.

The Opportunity
A well-established and expanding legal practice is seeking experienced solicitors (with a minimum of 6 years' post-qualification experience) to join its growing Property Litigation team. This is a strong opportunity for those looking to advance their careers in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, while also contributing to the development of junior colleagues through supervision and mentoring.

What You’ll Be Doing
The successful candidate will work across a broad range of property-related matters. Typical responsibilities include:

• Advising on landlord and tenant matters such as lease renewals, rent reviews, dilapidations, and break notices
• Handling mortgage possession proceedings
• Providing guidance on legal issues involving option agreements, easements, and restrictive covenants
• Supporting residential developers with strategies for land acquisition and securing vacant possession

What We’re Looking For
Applicants should bring proven experience from within a dedicated property litigation team, ideally with a focus on advising commercial clients. A strong understanding of landlord and tenant matters is essential, alongside a consistent track record of delivering high-quality client service.
This opportunity is best suited to someone with a solid grounding in property litigation, capable of managing a busy caseload from the outset. The role also offers scope to support the leadership and development of more junior team members, so prior supervisory experience or a clear interest in stepping into that responsibility is highly valued.
The ideal candidate will be commercially aware, adaptable, and collaborative, with the resilience to perform well under pressure. A proactive and team-oriented mindset will be key to thriving in this environment.
The position is based in Leeds, with flexibility to work remotely for part of the week.
Benefits

• Holiday your way – 25 days off (plus all the bank holidays), your birthday off just because, and the option to buy, sell, or flex your time off to suit your plans.
• Cashback when you need it – thanks to a handy Medical Cash Plan that helps take the sting out of everyday healthcare costs.
• Feel-good rewards – from high street discounts to exclusive perks through our Reward Scheme.
• Karma points, incoming – paid volunteer days to give back to causes that matter to you.
• Future you will thank you – with a solid pension plan and Life Assurance for extra peace of mind.
• Family-first policies – generous leave for when life’s biggest moments come calling.
• Wellbeing, your way – think yoga on-site, mental health support, and wellbeing programmes designed to help you feel your best.
• Cycle, park, or ride – with discounted travel, reduced parking fees, a cycle-to-work scheme, and secure bike storage for your trusty two-wheeler.
• Find your people – join a club, committee, or cause that fits your vibe. Whether it’s sports, books, baking, or board games, you’ll build genuine connections that go beyond the 9–5.
