We are currently seeking a Senior Associate or Legal Director (7+ years' PQE)
You will be based in any one of our offices; Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds or London (with flexible hybrid working), and the role will involve occasional travel to London if based from a regional office.
Role Focus
The role will focus mainly on advising in relation to large-scale regeneration and development projects, alongside more general commercial property work. It is an excellent opportunity to play a significant role in helping to grow further, a practice which is already a leader in its field, given the high-quality client and project appointments referred to above. There will also be the opportunity to work on and lead a range of high value, regeneration and development projects, many of which are of regional or national significance.
Client Base
You will be advising a range of national and regional public and private sector organisations including Greater London Authority, the City of London, Peabody Trust and Places for People, as well as many of the London Boroughs and other local authorities across the UK.
