Role Overview

Our high-performing Transactional Real Estate team is seeking a supervising lawyer to join our expanding Leeds real estate practice, driven by new client mandates.

The supervising lawyer role is non-client facing and does not involve managing your own files. Instead, you will supervise junior lawyers (especially those in the 0-3 PQE band), ensuring quality supervision, providing guidance, and supporting their development. This role allows you to dedicate time to mentorship, explain legal points, and rehearse arguments, which can be rushed in typical roles.

This position is ideal for someone with a strong track record in commercial property, interested in a slightly different, possibly part-time, role, and passionate about developing others.

You will join a small team of two supervising lawyers, fostering collaboration and shared responsibilities.

Role Expectations

• Supervise lawyers working on leading deals in commercial property, including landlord and tenant, property management, sales and purchases, and development.
• Act as part of the team handling significant client accounts, maintaining and developing client relationships, and delivering high-quality advice.
• Contribute to a high-performing, supportive team environment, shaping and developing the team's growth.

Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

• Senior lawyer with at least 6 years of relevant experience in complex commercial real estate matters.
• Experience in mentoring junior lawyers, with strong teaching and research skills.
• Enthusiasm, resilience, and ambition to develop legal skills and client solutions.
• Ability to manage stakeholders at all levels and maintain high standards under pressure.
