Real Estate Litigation Solicitor Manchester - 1-5 years PQE National Firm

Real Estate Litigation Solicitor Manchester 1-5 PQE National Firm

Our client, a well-established national law firm, is seeking an ambitious Property Litigation Solicitor to join their growing team in Manchester.

About the Role

This is a genuinely varied property litigation position offering exposure to high-quality, complex work. You\’ll be working closely with the national head of the department on matters that go far beyond routine lease renewals and break notices.

The caseload includes:

• Boundary disputes and title issues
• Wayleaves and telecommunications matters
• Rights to light
• Building Safety Act compliance for developer clients
• Forfeiture and vacant possession matters supporting the restructuring team
• Landlord and tenant disputes under the 1954 Act
• Acting for housebuilders on contentious property matters

The team has recently secured a significant national client with a portfolio of 300+ properties, many with unique and complex issues, presenting excellent development opportunities.

What They’re Looking For

• 1-5 years PQE in property litigation (ideally)
• A proactive approach – someone who can take matters as far as possible independently before seeking senior input
• Genuine enthusiasm for property litigation and intellectual curiosity for complex problems
• Drive and ambition to develop expertise across diverse property matters
• The ability to think beyond process-driven work

What’s On Offer

• Direct access to national practice head and hands‑on mentoring
• Exposure to sophisticated, high‑value work from day one
• Variety – no two days are the same
• Work on cutting‑edge issues including Building Safety Act matters
• Opportunity to build expertise across the full spectrum of property litigation

This role would particularly suit someone currently handling volume work who is seeking greater complexity and responsibility, or a solicitor in a property litigation practice looking for more diverse and challenging matters.
