Job Description:

Lawyers MUST be UK-based and must be qualified in England & Wales.

A large national UK charity has an excellent opportunity within its property team for a senior (8+ PQE) lawyer. The role can be performed completely remotely (with the opportunity for office attendance if preferred).

My client is looking to appoint a senior commercial property lawyer to assist the head of team with day-to-day management of the property team and to directly supervise two more junior team members.
You will:

• Be the lead on complex property transactions - acquisitions, disposals, leases, easements, licences & agreements involving the charity's land.
• Advise on commercial property transactional matters, including L&T, development, utilities & infrastructure matters.
• Draft, review and negotiate commercial property documentation such as contracts, transfers, agreements for lease, leases, overage provisions, options & utilities agreements.
• Mentor and support the two more junior property team members, ensuring best practice and continuous professional development.
• Manage external lawyers and counsel as appropriate
• Identify and mitigate risk in relation to property matters in line with the organisation's policy and Charities Act obligations.
• Ensure compliance with the support framework in the delivery of legal advice to the wider organisation teams

The ideal lawyer will have substantial post-qualification experience, including strong technical knowledge of land law, L&T, development and infrastructure-related property matters. You will be a confident drafter with excellent communication and negotiation skills and a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach. You should be able to quickly gain credibility and buy in from stakeholders at all levels across a multidisciplinary organisation. You should also have an interest in environmental matters.

On top of the basic salary (a budget of £55,000 per annum is available) and an excellent benefits package, you will benefit from a collegiate and remote working environment (the team will have non-obligatory face-to-face team meetings each year).

To learn more about this role, please send your CV to Adele Callaghan (specifying full details of your current remuneration package) or email me for a return call to discuss the role.
