What sort of work?
Our highly rated Property Litigation team is looking for a Solicitor or Associate to join their Specialist Real Estate offering. The role could be based from either our Bristol, Cheltenham or Exeter office and will support the team in delivering a first-class service to clients.

Much of our work involves the provision of advice in uncertain or contentious situations, but it also includes representing clients in court action, the property tribunals, arbitrations, expert determinations, and mediations. Experience in every area is not essential, because we pride ourselves on providing quality training and supervision.
