Why Michelmores? Michelmores is the destination law firm for the ambitious, the imaginative and the distinctive. We help enterprises and individuals navigate change to find a positive future.
We are a flexible, friendly and inclusive organisation with as clear a focus on fresh thinking as we have on growth and success. We value and nurture our people’s potential and inspiration and give them a creative, open and collaborative environment in which to develop a career and succeed.
We believe that whatever your legal experience, you’ll find Michelmores different. From day one we encourage our people to forge relationships and expand their understanding and knowledge of areas that interest them – developing an understanding of commercial challenges and opportunities, rather than just knowing the law. We nurture creative and commercial thinking to help in your long-term career success – it mirrors our approach to ensuring the very best outcomes for our clients too.
What sort of work? Right now, our highly regarded Real Estate group is looking for a Professional Support Lawyer (PSL) to join our Transactional Real Estate (TRE) team.

* Providing and maintaining quality documentation and precedents for use by lawyers in TRE.
* Encourage and facilitate production of articles by lawyers.
Why this team? Our TRE Team is a leading real estate team operating across all offices and including many lawyers named as leading individuals in Chambers and Partners.
How do we work? We take a flexible, agile approach to working patterns. As a team we agree together on the best working arrangements that will enable each of us to provide exceptional client service, to collaborate and connect with colleagues, and to achieve the right home/work balance. This role could be carried out on a part-time basis.
As a Firm we are committed to supporting our people across all levels to achieve the balance they need. We are open to talking about flexible working and empower any candidate to put forward a flexible working pattern to meet their needs.
Who are we looking for? We are looking for somebody who will understand our values and will thrive in our culture. The role could be based in our Exeter office or our Bristol office with travel to the Exeter office ideally 1-day a week. The ideal candidate will have:
* Experience as a PSL at a Top 100 firm and up to 5 years PQE as a commercial real estate lawyer previously.
* We will consider lawyers with 5 years PQE + in commercial real estate at a Top 100 firm who can demonstrate the skills required for the role and a clear affinity with knowledge management and learning and development.
* Excellent legal research skills with experience of legal databases (LexisLibrary, Practical Law, Westlaw).
* Competent with Microsoft products (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, SharePoint etc.) and using data management systems.
Other skills required include:
* Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work within a team and to effectively communicate with all levels across the Firm.
