* Contributing to knowledge-sharing, training, and mentoring where appropriate
What They're Looking For
A qualified Solicitor in England & Wales with 1-7 years' post-qualification experience
* Experience in banking and finance, direct real estate finance experience is desirable but not essential
* Strong commercial awareness and excellent drafting skills
* A proactive, collaborative approach and confidence working with clients
* Someone who values a down-to-earth culture and open-door senior leadership
Why Join This Firm?
* Clear career progression, including defined routes to partnership and leadership
