Real Estate Associate/Senior Associate (2+ PQE)

Leeds | Top 50 UK Law Firm | Tier Ranked Real Estate Department

Are you an ambitious Associate looking to accelerate your career? Want to work on high-impact, large-scale projects for top-tier clients - all while enjoying strong support, great benefits, and a genuinely forward-thinking culture?

This is your opportunity to join one of the UK's most respected legal brands, with over 30 Legal 500 Tier 1 rankings and a thriving, award-winning Real Estate team based in Leeds.

The Firm

Has a renowned reputation amongst clients and employees alike. Due to a flat hierarchical structure, cooperative and open working environment and premium clients, the business has attracted some of the leading legal experts in the UK. These staff members have developed expertise across a range of practice areas, gaining countless accolades from the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, both as a firm and as individuals.

Positive reports about the supportive and nourishing working environment are reflected in the company's revenue, which has shown exponential growth and resulted in expansion across the UK. In part, this is due to the firm's belief that staff are the key to their success, which results in heavy investment in staff development and a flexible approach to work-life balance.

Taking on an innovative and forward-thinking mindset, this firm seeks to encourage ambition and creativity and takes real steps to go the extra mile for the clients, without compromising the happiness of their employees.

Clients include some of the most prestigious companies and private individuals and as such lawyers working for this firm should expect exposure to high-quality, large-scale work which will showcase their ability and skills as a legal professional.

The Role

As part of a nationally recognised, top-tier Real Estate team, you'll support major developers and housebuilders throughout every stage of the development lifecycle. From land acquisition through to completion, your input will be pivotal in delivering results for clients at the forefront of the industry.

You'll enjoy a varied, hands-on role that's client-facing and commercially engaging. Collaboration is key here, you'll be working closely with colleagues across multiple offices, tapping into a deep pool of expertise while building your own specialist knowledge.

• A diverse caseload involving innovative, large-scale developments across the UK
• A genuinely supportive and experienced team environment
• Opportunities to sharpen your commercial skills while taking real ownership of matters

While cross-border experience is valued (and dual qualification a plus), it's by no means essential - this role is built for a confident, driven Associate looking to carve out a strong career path in a leading Real Estate practice.
