Working from a single, vibrant office, you’ll enjoy a collaborative, energetic environment with open-plan spaces designed to encourage teamwork and innovation. The firm combines high performance with balance, offering hybrid flexibility, realistic targets, and a generous bonus structure that rewards hard work. If you’re an ambitious, qualified solicitor looking to join a dynamic, forward-thinking practice, this is an opportunity to progress your career. Due to continued growth, we are looking to engage a Solicitor within the Residential Development team.

Your new role

Join this high-performing Real Estate team, renowned for its expertise in residential development. We are seeking an experienced Real Estate Solicitor (5+ years PQE) to join this thriving team. You’ll play a key role in supporting clients through the full lifecycle of development projects, from initial land acquisition through to planning, infrastructure agreements, and plot sales.

Working alongside experienced peers, you will advise on:

Strategic site acquisitions and disposals
Conditional contracts, options, and promotion agreements
Planning and Section 106 agreements
Infrastructure and utility arrangements
Plot sales and ongoing site disposals

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated individual who enjoys managing complex transactions, thrives on client interaction, and wants to play an integral part in a well-established and ambitious practice.

What you'll need to succeed

We’re looking for someone who is:

Qualified with 5+ years PQE in Real Estate, ideally with experience in residential development.
Technically strong in site acquisitions, planning agreements, and plot sales.
Commercially astute with excellent client care skills.
Organised and capable of managing complex transactions effectively.
A strong communicator who enjoys collaboration and building long-term client relationships.

What you'll get in return

A competitive salary based on experience partnered with a generous fee-earner bonus scheme. The office has free parking and is easily accessible. They provide a comprehensive benefits package including pension, enhanced maternity/paternity pay, holiday etc. This firm will give you the opportunity to learn and grow within a supportive and dynamic team, whilst developing leadership opportunities through their progressive development program.

What you need to do now

If you are interested in these roles or would like further information, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.
If these jobs aren’t quite right for you, but you’re exploring new opportunities, we’d still love to hear from you.
We would expect a lawyer with the given PQE to have gained the level of experience required, but this does not preclude applications from those with more or less PQE.
