Remote Real Estate Lawyer – Associate (3+ Years' PQE)

Leeds | Permanent, Full or Part Time | Competitive Salary

Work Where You Work Best

Looking for a real estate career that fits around your life, not the other way round? This is a genuinely flexible role. Work primarily from home, with travel to the Leeds office just twice a month (agreed according to your experience), or choose to be office-based if you prefer. You'll enjoy more certainty and control over your hours, without stepping back from high-quality work.

The Opportunity

We're appointing several Associates to each act as the dedicated legal resource for one major client. Instead of juggling dozens of unrelated matters, you'll focus on a single client, learning their business inside out, building trusted relationships and developing real sector expertise, all with the backing, training and career development of a leading international law firm.

You'll join a new and progressive delivery team model, using innovative ways of working to deliver real value.

What You'll Do

  • Act as the go-to legal contact for a key client, working within a structured delivery model supported by the wider firm
  • Manage your own caseload: drafting and negotiating leases, ancillary property documents, tenant due diligence enquiries and lease management applications
  • Oversee transactions through to completion and keep matter records up to date, including WIP, billing and write-offs
  • Supervise and support junior lawyers and paralegals across lettings and property management matters
  • Build strong relationships with the client and external advisers, and take part in client engagement activities
  • Share best practice with the wider client account team and help drive process improvements

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

Why You'll Feel Part of the Team, Even Remotely

Flexible working doesn't mean working in isolation. You'll attend initial training with the team and make occasional visits to other offices to meet the client, so you're connected to colleagues and the wider firm from day one.

You'll join a Tier 1 ranked Leeds Transactional Real Estate team known for a commercial, business-focused approach. They work closely with their legal tech team and Innovation Group, and they encourage you to try new technology, including generative AI.

About Them

Their international growth is built on innovation, collaboration and strong relationships. Their award-winning culture combines high standards with genuine care, in an inclusive, down-to-earth environment where they support each other and your professional development.
