• Building strong relationships with clients and delivering a high standard of client care

About You

The successful candidate will:

• Be a qualified Solicitor with 1-3 years PQE
• Have experience handling property litigation matters
• Be keen to take ownership of their work rather than waiting to be directed
• Possess a strong understanding of commercial property law and property-related disputes
• Have experience managing files from initial instruction through to conclusion
• Demonstrate excellent client care and communication skills
• Be highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Be proactive, motivated and capable of working on their own initiative
