We are seeking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Solicitor (preferably NQ – 1 year PQE) to join our growing and well regarded Property Litigation team in Plymouth.
Our Property Litigation Department is one of our fastest growing departments in the firm, and by joining the Plymouth team you will have exposure to high quality, high value work from the outset. Working closely with and reporting directly to a senior lawyer, you will assist in a broad range of litigious matters, working with clients including commercial developers, housebuilders, corporate occupiers, investors, lenders and local authorities. The team’s experience ranges from advising on commercial landlord and tenant matters for household names, high value Building Safety Act matters, real property disputes (rights of way, adverse possession, harassment, boundary disputes), commercial and residential service charge disputes, property insolvency and secured recoveries. Therefore, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your skillset and understanding of the law from the outset, with excellent career progression opportunities.
Working within a supportive and friendly team, you’ll be afforded high levels of responsibility from when you join, including direct contact with clients and the opportunity to run your own caseload. This is a great opportunity to join a fast growing team, within an ambitious, forward thinking firm.
Who you are
With previous property litigation experience either as part of your training contract or in a newly qualified role, you will have gained experience of a range of residential and commercial contentious property matters within a successful property litigation team, enabling you to transition quickly into your new role.
As an excellent communicator with the confidence to readily work with a broad range of our clients, you will possess the empathy and sensitivity to effectively manage their matters, with a focus on building strong and lasting relationships.
Naturally resilient, you will be able to cope with stressful and demanding situations, and be accustomed to working under pressure to meet challenging deadlines. You will be tenacious and thorough with good commercial judgement, in order to find the best possible outcomes for our clients in often challenging circumstances. With a keen eye for detail and naturally meticulous in your work, you will be looking to take on high levels of responsibility from the outset.
Our offer
We know that our people are at the heart of everything we do – and that’s why we’re committed to supporting your wellbeing, growth and work-life balance. Beyond our benefits package, you’ll be encouraged, no matter what your role or career level, to get involved in our Responsible Business programme, where you’ll support initiatives such as charity fundraising, environmental causes and our employee led diversity and inclusion groups.
We believe that building a firm with a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences drives innovation and strengthens our teams, and we welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
