Real Estate Finance Solicitor (2–5 PQE)
Are you a Real Estate Solicitor looking to specialise in finance work, or an existing Real Estate Finance lawyer looking to join a highly regarded national practice?
We're working with a leading UK law firm that is looking to appoint a 2–5 PQE Associate into its growing Real Estate Finance team based in their Birmingham office. This is an excellent chance to join a collaborative team acting on a broad range of high-quality transactions for an impressive client base.
The Opportunity
You'll advise both lenders and borrowers on a wide variety of real estate finance matters, supporting transactions involving acquisitions, development funding, and refinancing.
The team acts for a diverse range of clients, including:
- High street and challenger banks
- Specialist and bridging lenders
- Peer-to-peer lenders
- Property developers
- Corporate and individual borrowers
You'll work alongside experienced specialists while taking responsibility for your own matters and building long-term client relationships.
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.
