About Konexo and Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland is a global law firm with 74 offices across 35 countries worldwide committed to delivering client service excellence. As a full service law practice, Eversheds Sutherland acts for many sectors across the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and the US providing legal advice to clients in each of its practice areas including Real Estate, Corporate Finance, Commercial Advisory, Employment, Labour and Pensions, Litigation and Dispute Management.

Konexo is an established alternative legal services division of Eversheds Sutherland, created to meet client demand for high quality, interim legal, HR and compliance professionals. Konexo Legal Resourcing is a well-established and fast growing team created to meet demand for high quality interim lawyers, paralegals and legal project managers to support both clients and internal Eversheds Sutherland teams.

Konexo Legal Resourcing is receiving an increased demand for interim real estate lawyers who specialise in residential development transactions to provide additional resource support to our in-house clients and the Eversheds Sutherland Real Estate Practice Group

What you should have:

• At least 5+ years PQE.
• Good experience of acting for national housebuilders, land promoters, developers and landowners on residential development and residential investment projects.
• Experience conducting due diligence on residential land acquisitions.
• Experience negotiating a wide range of legal documentation including sale contracts conditional on planning, promotion and option agreements, collaboration agreements and development agreements.
• Experience providing strategic legal advice on overcoming title issues, including liaising with landowners’ solicitors and insurers to secure indemnity policies.
• Ability to work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, including landowners, surveyors, and planning authorities, to facilitate smooth project progression.
• Knowledge of the UK living sector with experience of the build to rent and affordable housing market would be advantageous, but is not essential.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines and work accurately under pressure.

• Our flexible resourcing model means you can choose how and when you work. People approach us for a whole range of reasons - they might be seeking a better work-life balance, the ability to develop their legal career whilst also having the time to pursue other interests, or they may simply want a way of working that offers greater control and flexibility that more traditional models don't provide.
• You will have access to high quality legal work, helping to consolidate on your experience and develop your career.
• We have full time, part time and more flexible ad-hoc hourly opportunities, with many of our roles offering hybrid or remote working.

What you get:

• The backing and support of a leading global law firm.
• Access to Partner support and other subject matter expert support within the firm throughout the placement.
• Access to the firm's knowledge systems, CPD training and webinars.
• Access to online know-how resources, such as PLC.
