We are currently working with a select group of respected London law firms (all The Lawyer Top 200) – ranging from large international City practices to established West End, Midtown, and boutique firms – all seeking to grow their offering in key real estate‑related disciplines. These firms are actively looking to recruit experienced partners or senior non‑Partners in commercial property, construction law (contentious or non‑contentious), or property litigation.
Individuals need to be UK qualified, currently or recently have been working in private practice with a reputable law firm and need to have nurtured at least some sort of following (ranging from £250k to £1million+ depending upon the specific opportunity). Many of these roles are likewise open to senior non‑partners (Senior Associates, Legal Directors, Counsel) so long as they too have a small client base to bring.
In Commercial Property, there are 2 live roles at leading international City firms for senior lawyers or lateral partners with a following of approximately £750k or more. These are ideal for candidates seeking to step into a global platform with strong cross‑border support and sectoral depth. A further opportunity exists with a respected West End firm acting for a client base of high‑net‑worth individuals and SMEs, where the focus is on personal service, quality, and long‑standing relationships. Here, the requirement for following is more flexible, with a greater emphasis on practice‑building potential. In addition, two national firms with a strong regional footprint are seeking to bolster their London commercial property teams – both with strong internal referral networks and a desire to invest in real‑estate as a growth area within their capital city offices.
Construction Law is another practice area of which we are assisting our clients. One of the larger national firms is keen to add a senior construction specialist – contentious, non‑contentious or mixed – to deepen its London bench. A prominent West End practice with a strong developer and project‑led client base is also looking for a senior lawyer or partner with solid market presence. A third opportunity exists within a well‑regarded construction boutique that offers a focused, agile platform for someone looking to have a direct impact in a highly collaborative environment.
Property Litigation remains a growth area and several firms – four or five in total, across the City, Midtown and West End – are looking to capitalise on strong market conditions by expanding their teams. These roles would suit established litigators with an active following or a proven ability to develop business, and a desire to be part of teams where this work is seen as a strategic investment, not just a support function.
All roles are London‑based and offer strong prospects for the right individuals, whether you are seeking to move your practice to a larger platform, take a step up to partnership, or have concerns about your current platform. For a confidential discussion about these roles please call us on 0203 930 1003 or email our Director, Julian on julian@segalplacements.com.
