Residential Property Partner

We are looking for a Solicitor to join us as a Partner and take a lead in expanding our HNW Residential Property client base in London, generating new business opportunities, and contributing to the overall growth and success of our firm.

At Greenwoods our people are truly our greatest asset, and everyone is expected to work together for the benefit of the firm. As a result, we are great team players, which is key to driving a ‘one team’ culture across our three locations to ensure the firm’s collective and long-term success.

We have a fantastic firm; friendly and welcoming, with a focus on work/life balance and a no-ego culture. You’ll work alongside a growing and highly successful Property team who assist clients with both Commercial and Residential Real Estate. The firm has ambitious plans for this team as one of its core strategic priorities for the next three to five years, so it’s an exciting time to join us.

You may be at Partner level already or be ready for that next step with us but it’s likely you’ll have at least 10 years PQE spent practicing in residential property at a firm with a reputation for excellent advice and client care. Importantly, you’ll be approachable, kind, flexible, hard-working, and non-hierarchical, as well as fitting in with our current culture: we offer a flexible, low-turnover, client-driven service delivered by our lawyers on a one-to-one basis. We prefer resolving matters by calling our fellow lawyers first and getting a solution that works best for both parties.

A key part of the role will be to win and deliver new work, and to continue to raise the firm’s profile as a provider of high-quality residential property legal advice in London, so you’ll be able to demonstrate your experience in this area and will ideally have a significant number of established personal connections and work to bring with you.

In return, we’ll offer you a competitive basic salary (based on fee income) plus a substantial bonus scheme which is based on your own personal achievements, allowing you to be remunerated for your personal contribution and what you bring to the firm. You’ll get to make your mark on how we offer Residential Property advice from our London office and to influence our growth in this area moving forward.

We have a hybrid working pattern, but we’d likely ask you to be in the London office 3 days per week, with occasional visits to Peterborough and Cambridge.

If you require accommodations or adjustments due to a disability, please let us know, and we will work to ensure you have a positive experience during the application and interview process. We recognise that you will have other life commitments to work around, and so we will always be as flexible as possible with arranging timings for interviews as part of our recruitment processes.

If you’re excited about this role but your previous experience doesn’t align perfectly with every element in the advert, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or for other roles in our firm.
