Associate / Senior Associate - Social Housing (Housing Management)
Birmingham | 3+ PQE | Hybrid Working | Competitive Salary + Excellent Benefits
Looking for a role where you can genuinely influence the future of a growing team?
If you're a Social Housing lawyer looking for more responsibility, greater client exposure and a clear route for career progression, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
I'm working with a leading national law firm that is continuing to invest in the growth of its Birmingham office. As part of this expansion, they're looking to appoint an Associate or Senior Associate to join their established Social Housing team.
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative practice advising Registered Providers on a broad range of housing management matters while playing an important role in the continued growth of the Birmingham offering.
Whether you're already operating at Senior Associate level or looking to take that next step, you'll be given the platform to build your profile, strengthen client relationships and progress your career within a supportive and ambitious team.
The Opportunity
You'll work alongside experienced specialists on a varied caseload of Housing Management matters, advising Registered Providers across a range of contentious and advisory work.
