Overview

A highly ranked Legal 500 firm is looking for a newly qualified Real Estate Solicitor to assist the partner in complex, high‑quality files, predominantly consisting of agricultural property. You will have the flexibility you need to accommodate life outside of the office – most of the staff go in once a week to touch base, but you are welcome to go in more if this is what you prefer. As long as you provide a high standard of client care and attend to client needs, the firm understands that we don't always need to be present in the office.

• Mentor and train paralegals or trainee solicitors, developing your leadership skills.
• Draft and review a range of rural property contracts, including farm business tenancy agreements, grazing licences, and more.
• Liaise with a wide range of clients – farmers, landowners, agents, surveyors and local authorities – ensuring transactions progress efficiently and deadlines are met.
• Undertake due diligence, thoroughly reviewing Land Registry titles, rights of way, easements and environmental restrictions to ensure smooth and compliant transactions.

Experience & Qualifications Required

• Qualified Solicitor or equivalent within residential and/or commercial property.
• Ability to manage your own caseload of conveyancing transactions.
• Ideally you will have prior experience working with agricultural property or you will possess a strong interest in developing your skills in this niche.
• Strong academics, proficient IT skills and verbal and written communication skills.

Benefits

• Flexible working arrangements – work from home and flexible hours. No set days required in the office, but you must be happy to attend for client and team meetings.
• Bonus structure.
• 25 days + plus bank holiday + birthday off.
• A supportive environment for professional growth and development with high‑quality work.
