Property Disputes Solicitor / Legal Executive (NQ–3 PQE) | Leading UK Top 50 Firm | Bristol
If you're looking to build a genuine specialism early in your career, opportunities like this are few and far between.
This is your chance to join one of the UK's leading Property Disputes teams, specialising exclusively in complex home ownership and cohabitation disputes. You'll work alongside recognised experts in this niche area, gaining exposure to high-quality litigation that many lawyers only encounter occasionally throughout their careers.
The team advises clients nationwide on disputes arising under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act (TOLATA), acting on matters involving beneficial ownership, orders for sale, equitable accounting and wider property trust disputes. You'll also be involved in drafting cohabitation agreements and helping clients navigate often sensitive and emotionally charged situations.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
