We're working with a highly respected, Lexcel-accredited firm seeking a senior lawyer to join its established agriculture & estates team. This is a superb opportunity for an experienced lawyer to step into a pivotal role advising farming families, landowners, and rural estate clients on succession, land ownership, and the long-term management of agricultural assets.
You'll take responsibility for a diverse and high-quality caseload spanning agricultural property transactions, estate structuring, and multi-generational succession planning. This is a senior appointment requiring proven expertise in agricultural or rural estates work, together with strong technical capability, commercial judgement, and the confidence to guide clients through complex, often sensitive, long-term planning decisions.
Working at the heart of long-standing client relationships, you'll support estate owners and farming businesses with both strategic advice and day-to-day legal requirements. The role also offers the chance to contribute to the ongoing development of the department and provide guidance to junior colleagues where appropriate.
In return, the firm offers an excellent benefits package, including pension, life assurance, private healthcare, wellbeing initiatives and hybrid working. The position also involves regular face-to-face client engagement and participation in rural networking, reflecting the close-knit, relationship-led nature of the sector.
