Job Description
Head of Property Litigation | 8+ Years PQE | Legal 500 Ranked | Manchester or Liverpool | No Following Required
A genuinely rare opportunity for a senior Property Litigator to take ownership of a department and build something meaningful. Existing workflow in place, no following required.
The Firm
A modern, fast growing practice that actively challenges how legal services are delivered, having built a reputation for recruiting top talent from some of the world's largest firms and offering them a genuinely different platform in return. No red tape, no unnecessary hierarchy, just quality work, a progressive culture and the freedom to get on with it.
The firm works with a diverse and impressive client base spanning PLCs, developers and well known household names, and is one of the fastest growing practices in the professional services sector. Its Legal 500 ranking for disputes work reflects the calibre of what they do and the clients they do it for.
The Role
This is the opportunity for a senior Property Litigator who has hit a ceiling elsewhere to step into a head of department role with full backing to grow it.
You will initially work within the existing litigation function before taking the reins of a dedicated Property Litigation offering, with the opportunity to recruit and shape the team around you over time.
The firm is looking for someone with strong commercial property litigation experience across matters including Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 disputes, dilapidation claims, recovery of commercial rent arrears, breach of contract and the preparation and service of notices.
An appetite for harnessing internal referrals and building relationships across the business will stand you in good stead, though no external following is required given the existing workflow already in place.
