We are an established Cardiff-based property company seeking an experienced freelance or consultant solicitor to assist with an existing and ongoing caseload across property, landlord and tenant, contractual disputes and civil litigation. We currently have a number of live matters ready to progress and are looking to build a long-term working relationship with a solicitor who is commercially minded, responsive and comfortable managing matters independently. Although we are based in Cardiff, regular office attendance is not required. We are happy to work remotely with the right solicitor and welcome applications from candidates throughout England and Wales.
Current Work
- Drafting, reviewing and advising on commercial and residential leases
- Commercial and residential landlord and tenant matters
- Possession proceedings and tenant evictions
- Pursuing unpaid legal insurance claims where insurers or providers have failed to respond
- Commercial contractual disputes
- A claim against a property management company arising from an alleged failure to provide contracted services
- Enforcement of a deed of guarantee
- Enforcement of court judgments and recovery of judgment debts
- Claims relating to building contractors, including delay and failure to complete works
- General property-related litigation and enforcement matters
Applicants do not need to have experience in every area listed above. We are particularly interested in solicitors with strong experience in property, landlord and tenant work and/or civil/commercial litigation, and instructions can be allocated according to your particular expertise.
About You
- Is qualified to practise as a solicitor in England and Wales
- Ideally has 3+ years' PQE, although applications from candidates with strong relevant experience at other PQE levels will be considered
- Has solid experience in property law and/or civil or commercial litigation
- Can take ownership of matters and progress them with minimal supervision
- Is commercially minded and able to give clear, practical advice
- Communicates promptly and reliably
- Meets agreed deadlines
- Is comfortable working independently on a freelance or consultancy basis
Experience acting for property investors, landlords or property companies would be particularly useful but is not essential.
Working Arrangement
This is an ongoing freelance/consultancy opportunity rather than a salaried employed position. Work will be instructed on a matter-by-matter basis. We already have several live matters requiring assistance and anticipate providing further instructions on an ongoing basis to the right solicitor. We are open to working with appropriately qualified self-employed consultant solicitors and solicitors practising through their own firm or other suitable regulated arrangement.
We provide:
- Clear instructions and access to the relevant documentation
- Prompt payment of agreed invoices
- Flexibility over when and where work is undertaken, subject to agreed deadlines
- The opportunity for ongoing and repeat instructions
We would initially look to instruct the successful solicitor on a small number of matters so that both parties can establish a good working relationship, with further work available thereafter.
Pay
£50–£70 per hour, depending on experience and the nature of the work. We are happy to agree the appropriate rate at the outset based on your experience and areas of expertise.
Location - Remote/Hybrid
Our business is based in Cardiff, but applicants do not need to be based locally. Occasional attendance in Cardiff may be helpful for certain matters but can be discussed where necessary.
How to Apply
If you are an experienced solicitor looking for a reliable source of ongoing freelance instructions and would be interested in working with an established property business, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Please apply with your CV and a brief summary of:
- Your principal areas of legal experience
- Your current practising arrangement
- Your availability
