The Opportunity
A leading regional law firm with an excellent reputation is looking to recruit a Real Estate Litigation Solicitor or Associate to join its established Manchester office.

- Real property disputes involving easements, restrictive covenants and rights of light.
- Property-related contractual disputes.
- Possession proceedings and trespass claims.
