Job Description
Residential Property Senior Associate/Partner | 7+ PQE | Chichester
A long-established South East law firm, with deep local roots and a full-service offering, is looking for a 7+ PQE Residential Property lawyer to join its Chichester office at Senior Associate or Partner level. The firm has been serving Sussex for over 150 years, and its residential property team is a core part of its success.
Day to day
* You will run a full residential property caseload: sales, purchases, leasehold, new build, rural property, and auction work, with the backing of a team that handles hundreds of transactions a year
* You will work alongside the Head of Property and other senior partners, attending local events, meeting estate agents and financial advisers, raising your profile in Chichester and across West Sussex
* You will have genuine input into how the Chichester office grows, shaping processes, mentoring junior lawyers, and contributing to the firm's purpose led, client first approach
What You Bring
* 7+ years' PQE in residential property, with strong technical knowledge and a natural, client facing manner
* A client following or local connections in the Chichester/Sussex area is advantageous
* Alignment with a values led culture: authenticity, trust, collaboration, and a genuine care for client outcomes
The Firm
* Over 150 years in Sussex, with offices across the South East and a strong local reputation
* A full-service practice: residential property sits alongside family, private client, disputes, employment, and rural work, giving you cross referral opportunities
Why This Makes Sense
At 7+ PQE, you have the technical foundation. The question is whether you stay in a role where you are always the support act, or step into a practice where you are the face of the firm in a growing local market.
