Playing an active role in shaping the growth of the team

This is a superb opportunity for a junior lawyer who wants to combine strong technical training with a socially impactful career trajectory.

What They’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

Solid experience in commercial property—this may have been gained during training or post-qualification

An interest in or exposure to the public sector (though this isn’t a requirement)

A strong academic record and grounding in real estate law

A collaborative and confident approach, with the ability to manage multiple priorities

A commitment to delivering high-quality, pragmatic legal solutions

A genuine interest in the role law can play in shaping local communities
