Real Estate Lawyer | NQ+
Leeds | Hybrid
Competitive Salary & Fantastic Benefits
If you’re looking to launch your legal career in a firm that’s recognised for its quality of work, supportive culture, and strong regional reputation, this is an excellent opportunity.
The Role
This is a hands-on position where junior lawyers are actively encouraged to get involved in a wide range of work from day one. Alongside the usual post-completion matters, you’ll run your own smaller files, while also supporting senior fee earners on more complex transactions.
Expect to gain experience across areas such as lease work for landlords and tenants, title investigations, finance matters, and client meetings. You’ll also have the chance to work closely with charitable landowners, developers, institutional lenders, investors, and insolvency practitioners – giving you a truly varied client base and exposure to different sectors.
The Environment
The firm is known for striking the right balance: a modern, forward-looking outlook combined with a friendly and approachable culture. You’ll feel part of a supportive team, with senior lawyers who are genuinely invested in helping you progress.
Although hybrid working is well established across the firm, during your first six months you’ll be office-based for at least four days a week. This ensures you settle quickly into your new role and have the support you need to develop with confidence.
Why Apply?
This is the ideal opportunity for an ambitious NQ or junior lawyer who wants more than just a “training ground” role. You’ll be trusted with responsibility, exposed to high-quality work, and supported by a firm that places people and professional development at its heart.
Any references to PQE are provided as a guide and should not deter candidates with more or fewer years’ experience from applying. We welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate the requisite skills and expertise for this role.
Haggerty Jaques is committed to promoting equality and diversity. We encourage applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of background.
