In 2012, we were the first organisation of our type in the UK legal sector to attract private equity investment, enabling us to move from the traditional partnership model to a corporate structure, creating a clear separation between management/ownership and fee earners.
With over 1450 colleagues across 30 locations, our strong organic growth, combined with a number of high-quality recent acquisitions in the Thames Valley, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham,, Exeter, Weybridge, Sheffield and Teesside means we are now a more diversified business with strengthened positions in our key target markets. We have the team and financial resources in place to deliver our organic and acquisitive growth strategy as we scale up to be the leading legal and professional services business outside London.
Our business model and culture remains a clear differentiator from many legal services businesses enabling us to recruit individuals who wish to work in a modern professional services business.
We are now looking to add to our Real Estate team based out of our Reading office. This is a great opportunity to grow and develop your legal career surrounded by fantastic lawyers and high quality work. Supporting fee earners in the commercial property team with property sales, purchases, leases and other property related transactions.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills (including letter writing).

Most excitingly of all, you have the opportunity to help change the way we all think about and deliver the future of legal and professional services in a friendly, caring business, with little (if any) hierarchy.
