Job description

A leading UK law firm is looking to strengthen its Private Property team in Cheltenham with an Associate at NQ–3 PQE.

This is a great opportunity for a Property Solicitor who wants to work on high-quality, complex property matters for HNW and UHNW individuals, families, trustees, charities, private banks and investment companies.

The work is varied and sits at the intersection of property and private client, giving you the opportunity to build a broad and commercially valuable practice rather than being restricted to one area of property.

There is also scope to develop a particular specialism in landed estates, agricultural and rural property. Previous experience in this area would be advantageous, but genuine interest and a willingness to develop in this space are equally important.

The role

You will join a friendly and collegiate team, working alongside experienced lawyers on a varied caseload while being given the support to develop your own technical expertise and client relationships.

The firm has a strong reputation for investing in its lawyers, with structured training, mentoring and dedicated development programmes designed to support Associates through the early stages of their careers.

The ideal candidate

• NQ–3 PQE Property Solicitor
• An interest in Private Property / Private Client
• Ideally some exposure to landed estates, agricultural or rural property
• Commercially minded with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working independently while contributing to a wider team
• Keen to build a long-term career within a high-quality practice

Why this role?

If you are looking for your next move and want better quality work, interesting clients and genuine career development, this is a role worth exploring.

You will have the opportunity to work with sophisticated private clients and their advisers, develop a valuable niche within Private Property and benefit from a team that genuinely invests in its people.
