Southampton (Hybrid)

Looking for complex, career-defining work without needing to base yourself in London?

This is your opportunity to join the expanding Southampton office of a top-tier international law firm — delivering high-profile real estate finance deals for major clients, with all the benefits of a global platform.

You'll work on complex transactions, advising banks, funds, and property investors on everything from structured development finance to high-value investment loans. It’s the quality and scale of City work — in a more balanced setting.

This team is growing fast in the South, and they're investing heavily in building a long-term centre of excellence for real estate finance. That means real opportunity for you to develop into a lead role — both on deals and within the team.

What’s In It For You?

• Complex, High-Value Work – Be part of headline real estate finance deals, from the South Coast.
• Growing Regional Office – Play a visible role in shaping the practice’s future in Southampton.
• Hybrid Flexible Working – Split your time between home and their modern city-centre office
• Clear Progression – A structured pathway in a firm that promotes on merit, not geography.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading real estate finance transactions, including development and investment funding.
• Acting for UK and international banks, alternative lenders, and institutional investors.
• Collaborating with teams across the UK and Europe to deliver cross-border solutions.
• Supporting junior lawyers and helping grow the team’s profile across the South.

What You’ll Need

• 5+ years’ PQE in real estate finance with a strong technical grounding.
• UK-qualified solicitor with experience in a well-regarded City, national, or international firm.
• A collaborative mindset and the confidence to lead major transactions.
• A desire to do top-level work while helping grow a regional success story.
