Our property litigation team is going from strength to strength and as a result we're committed to further recruitment. We're looking for a bright and inquisitive lawyer, most likely at the relatively early stages of their post qualified career, to join our exceptional London-based team.

About us

As a Top 100 UK law firm, we're known not just for the quality of our work, but also the quality of our people. We have four offices in London, Bristol, Birmingham, and Watford and are well placed to service our national clients.

There are 5 partners in the wider property litigation team, being supported by 2 senior associates, 2 solicitors, 3 trainees and 2 paralegals. In London, you will be joining Partner, and Senior Associate, with the opportunity to work with other lawyers across our offices.

The role

Forming part of our larger real estate department, our property litigation team is friendly and welcoming and we regularly get together socially. As part of a close-knit team, your workload will include commercial and residential landlord and tenant disputes, lease renewals and advice on the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, serving notices such as breaks and advising on disputes regarding freehold property (such as advising on restrictive covenants and easements). Please note, we do not expect you to have gained exposure to all of these areas.

We act for both landlords and tenants so you'll enjoy gaining experience from both sides of the fence. Whilst the breadth of work is outstanding, we're always open to you developing a specialism.

With our supportive supervision structure, you'll soon develop the confidence to take on your own case load, but we won't rush you- we understand that everyone needs differing levels of supervision. With the opportunity to work for clients in our different sectors including education, health, charities and corporate occupiers, you'll relish the fact that no two days are the same. Key clients of the London property litigation team include Rugby School, Canterbury Cathedral and King's College London.

We celebrate our culture of teamwork and collaborative working. With the variety and quality of work that we can offer, you'll be involved in interesting matters to gain experience and to progress within the firm.

You'll pride yourself on being more than just a lawyer, immersing yourself in your client's challenges as you seek to balance out their commercial objectives alongside their legal requirements. You'll seek to undertake high quality work and your passion for building new and existing client relationships will support the team's business development goals.

Where will I be working?

We have approximately 80 staff based in our City office, in its impressive location overlooked by The Monument and with views of the City and the Thames. We've been adopting a hybrid model of office and remote working. As a junior lawyer we would like you to spend at least 3 days a week in the office, to make the most of our supervision and guidance through this stage of your career. We're happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.

If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this vacancy, please call our recruiter as we're happy to make the necessary adjustments and allowances.
