Overview

Real Estate Partner | Liverpool | Legal 500 Firm

Are you ready to take your career to the next level without sacrificing work-life balance? This boutique, Legal 500 ranked firm offers a rare blend of high-quality work, a client base that rivals the larger national players, and a genuinely friendly, down-to-earth culture.

The Firm

This practice has built an impressive reputation across the North West, combining decades of heritage with a forward-looking, ambitious growth strategy. Despite its size, the client roster is outstanding, often punching well above what you'd expect from a boutique. This creates a stream of exciting, complex instructions across major sectors such as retail, leisure, healthcare, and technology.

The difference here is in the culture. The firm has an approachable, close-knit feel where partners remain hands-on and accessible, and collaboration runs through everything they do. Staff describe the environment as collegiate and supportive which acts as a refreshing alternative to the politics and pressure usually found at larger firms.

On top of that, the firm invests heavily in technology and infrastructure, giving fee earners the tools and support to work more efficiently, so long hours are the exception, not the rule. Work/life balance is genuinely valued, with flexibility and autonomy at the core of their philosophy.

As Partner, you'll be given the space and support to grow your practice while working alongside some of the best-known names in the North West. You'll benefit from the firm's heavyweight client base, strong cross-referral network, and a platform that offers prestige without the unnecessary bureaucracy.

It's the perfect opportunity for a Partner who wants to enjoy top-quality work, autonomy, and a healthier balance between career and life.
