Make a Real Impact in Public Service
Are you a qualified solicitor or barrister looking for a new challenge to specialise in commercial property in local government? If so, join our Corporate & Environmental Law team and play a pivotal role in delivering high-value, high impact legal work for the Council.
About the Role
This is a part time permanent position of 25 hours per week with the place of work based at County Hall, Loughborough Road, West Bridgford.
As a key member of our legal team, you'll provide expert advice on a wide range of commercial property matters. You'll support the Council's ambitious target of securing £118.3 million in capital receipts over the next four years, working closely with service departments and senior officers on complex and rewarding projects.
This will be hybrid working with office attendance required and opportunities for some remote working, subject to the needs of the service.
What You'll Be Doing
* Advising on commercial property transactions and legal strategies.
* Supporting major project land developments and property disposals with some acquisitions.
* Collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure legal compliance and best practice.
* Contributing to the Council's strategic goals through sound legal guidance.
Why Join Us?
This is an exciting time to be part of our Council as we prepare for local government reorganisation. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of services—from education and social care to highways and public health—enhancing your legal experience in a dynamic public sector environment.
We believe in fostering a friendly and supportive work environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated. You will join a friendly and forward-thinking service with access to:
* Manageable and varied caseload
* Generous annual leave and pension scheme
* Opportunities for training, mentoring and professional development
Who We're Looking For
We welcome applications from qualified solicitors or barristers with non-contentious experience in property law. While previous commercial property and public sector experience is an advantage, it's not essential—we provide full training and support for those new to commercial property and or local government.
If you're passionate about public service, eager to grow your legal career, and ready to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
