Practice Development Lawyer (PDL) | Real Estate | London
I'm working with a leading international law firm looking to appoint a Practice Development Lawyer (PDL) into their Real Estate team.
Given how candidate-short the PDL market is, the team are open-minded - this could suit an experienced Real Estate lawyer looking to step away from fee earning, or an established PDL ready for a new platform.
The Role
- Advising on technical legal queries
- Leading on legal research and tracking developments
- Producing client briefings and thought leadership
- Delivering training (internal & client-facing)
- Managing and evolving precedents and know-how
- Drafting practice notes
- Supporting innovation and process improvement projects
- Working closely with fee earners to stay aligned with the market
- Identifying and mitigating risk issues
- Managing third-party providers
About You
- England & Wales qualified with strong Real Estate experience
- Existing PDL/PSL experience or a genuine interest in moving into a knowledge role
- Experience contributing to know-how, training or client content
- Commercially aware with a strong understanding of the property market
- Confident collaborating across teams and seniority levels
What's on Offer
- Join a top-tier international firm
- A visible, strategic role within the team
- High-quality work and exposure
- Supportive, forward-thinking environment
- Competitive package + strong benefits
Why consider this move?
PDL roles like this don't come up often , especially with this level of quality, visibility and flexibility.
