With a Tier 1 ranked team in Legal 500 and Tier 2 in Chambers, this highly regarded law firm is looking for a Property Litigation Partner to join their established property litigation department in central London.
This is a unique opportunity, as it brings a chance for someone to step into partnership at a firm which doesn't have such a high threshold in terms of following required for day-1 partnership.
They have an abundance of work, but still they seek someone who can bring with them a strong track record in business development.
Initially, it is likely that this will be a salaried partner role but comes with a clear path to equity.
The Firm
Established for over 150 years, this highly regarded law firm has become a respected player in the market and today they are a well-established, full-service operation with a standout reputation particularly in real estate and property disputes.
With a strong presence in London and the South East, the firm is trusted by major developers, investors, and commercial landlords for its strategic, commercially-focused litigation expertise.
Real estate is one of the firm’s core pillars, with seamless support spanning property litigation, development, investment and landlord-tenant matters.
For a Property Litigation Partner, this is an opportunity to join a platform where real estate is central to the firm’s identity, not a peripheral practice.
You’ll benefit from a collaborative culture, robust client base, and entrepreneurial environment, with the freedom to grow and lead within a thriving team backed by a respected brand.
The Role
This cutting-edge firm is seeking to hire a Property Litigation Partner for their Central London office.
The team of associates is based across both London and St Albans, so you would need to be able to go and spend time with them there ideally once a week or so. (However, the firm is very happy to have an open conversation around flexibility and how this works for the right person).
You will join a very friendly, supportive and professional team.
The partner leading this team is one of the most personable and understanding leaders I have come across. Highly supportive with a good sense of humour, while remaining a professional and impressive lawyer.
The Property Litigation department has seen an increased workflow in recent months and under strong positive leadership, they are looking to further expand the department.
You will be working collaboratively with the 6 transactional property partners who work on a lot of prime London real estate, and with HNW and UHNW clients. The benefit of this is that there is a highly established real estate team providing property litigation with plenty of work!
This, coupled with the firm’s growth plans mean that there is a real opportunity to progress, all the way to equity in the future.
The Team
There are three lawyers in the team currently sitting under the HOD.
A 6 PQE Senior associate, a 5 PQE Associate, and a 1 year PQE Associate.
The wider litigation team itself has four partners and various assistants, supported by two trainees and three secretaries. The team is ranked Tier 1 in Legal 500 and Tier 2 in Chambers.
Requirements:
* You will be a Property Litigation Partner
* You'll be adept at business development with a track record of bringing in ideally at least £150,000+ per year through your own network/originations.
* You will have a strong technical knowledge and a desire to progress
* Salary is very competitive depending on your level of experience, plus an excellent benefits package on offer
