Real Estate Litigation Solicitor | 4+ PQE | Cardiff

TSR Legal is working with a highly regarded, award-winning commercial law firm that is opening a brand new office in Cardiff.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the firm at the start of its Cardiff journey and play a key role in establishing and growing the new office. The firm has an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality legal advice to businesses, property owners, developers, investors, public sector organisations, and private clients across the UK.

The new Cardiff office represents a significant investment in the firm's continued growth and provides an opportunity for lawyers to join an ambitious national practice while enjoying the lifestyle and professional opportunities that Cardiff has to offer.

The Role

The firm is seeking an experienced Real Estate Litigation Solicitor with 4+ years' PQE to join its Property Litigation team and become part of the new Cardiff office.

You will advise on a broad range of property-related disputes and contentious asset management issues, acting for owners, developers, investors, funders, asset managers, landlords, operators, and other significant property stakeholders.

The work is varied and commercially focused, covering matters including landlord and tenant disputes, lease renewals, dilapidations, forfeiture, possession, service charge disputes, development and land disputes, overage, rights of light, and disputes arising from major property portfolios.

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.
