We are currently seeking an Associate (4+ years' PQE) to work within the Commercial Property team. You will be based in any one of our offices; Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds or London (with flexible hybrid working), and the role will involve occasional travel to London if based from a regional office.
The role will focus mainly on advising in relation to large-scale regeneration and development projects, alongside more general commercial property work. It is an excellent opportunity to play a significant role in helping to grow further, a practice which is already a leader in its field, given the high-quality client and project appointments referred to above. There will also be the opportunity to work closely with more senior colleagues and in particular to further hone specialist regeneration and development expertise, as well as leading on a variety of such projects.
You will be advising a range of national and regional public and private sector organisations including Greater London Authority, the City of London, Peabody Trust and Places for People, as well as many of the London Boroughs and other local authorities across the UK.
Alongside high-quality work, you will also have plenty of opportunity to meet clients, grow your own network and develop other business development skills. There are genuine promotion prospects for those with the ambition and skills to progress, plenty of variation in the work, and significant support from both the Property team and the wider firm to help you develop your own practice.
What we are looking for from you
The successful applicant will possess the following skills and experience key to the role:
- Experience in commercial and/or residential development work
- Strong communication skills with a professional approach to work
- Confidence in working directly with clients
- An ability to build strong interpersonal relationships
- An aptitude for drafting and legal analysis
- A keenness to work collaboratively with colleagues at junior and senior levels
- Excellent project management skills and the ability to work efficiently to meet deadlines
- A practical and commercial approach
- An interest in business development
