Opportunity: Rural Property Solicitor/Lawyer
Location: Taunton
Salary: Up to £95,000 + Bonus + Profit Share
Fancy being part of a team that's growing, rather than joining one that's already at full capacity?
I'm working with a well-established South West law firm that is continuing to grow its Taunton office and is looking to add to its Rural Property team.
They're open to people from 2+ PQE, so whether you're an Associate looking for more responsibility and quality work or a more senior lawyer who would enjoy helping shape the team as it grows, there's scope here to make the role your own.
And with a salary of up to £95,000+, plus bonus and profit share, it's certainly not one to overlook!
What You Will Be Doing?
- You'll work with a broad mix of rural and agricultural clients, including farmers, landowners, estates and trusts, rural businesses, developers, investors, and private individuals.
- The work is varied and could include:
- Sales and acquisitions of farms, agricultural land, and rural estates
- Agricultural and Farm Business Tenancies
- Strategic land and development
- Renewable energy projects
- Easements, rights of way, and other property rights
- Estate and land management
- Rural business transactions and diversification projects
- You'll also build lasting client and professional relationships, work alongside experienced specialists, and develop your own profile within the rural property market.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why This Opportunity?
- The Taunton office is growing, and the wider team is growing with it.
- This isn't simply about filling a seat in an established team. There's scope to contribute to how the practice develops, bring your own ideas, build relationships, and take on increasing responsibility as the team expands.
- If you're earlier in your career, you'll have the support and expertise around you to keep developing. If you're more experienced, there's plenty of room to make a real impact and help shape what the team becomes.
- You don't need to arrive with a five-year masterplan. A bit of ambition and a willingness to get involved will go a long way.
The Firm:
- You'll be joining an established firm with a standout reputation and a seriously people-focused, down-to-earth culture.
- It's employee-owned, so everyone has a stake in the success of the business and receives an equal share of the annual profit share. There's also a performance-related bonus.
- Flexible working is taken seriously, with a hybrid approach and flexibility around how you work.
- The firm also invests in its people through mentoring, training, professional development, and funded qualifications.
Who Are They Looking For?
- 2+ years' PQE with experience in rural property, agricultural law, commercial property, or a closely related area
- Strong technical grounding, commercial awareness, and an interest in working with rural clients
- Someone looking for greater responsibility, career development, or the chance to help build something within a growing team
