Newly Qualified - Property Litigation Solicitor

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join a well-established and growing property litigation team in Hertfordshire.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an NQ solicitor who is keen to build a career within property litigation.

You will work on a high volume of litigation matters, primarily focused on service charge and ground rent disputes, alongside wider landlord and tenant matters. Given the volume of work, this role would particularly suit someone who enjoys working at pace, managing competing priorities and developing their caseload management skills.

About the Team

You will join a sizeable defended litigation team comprising approximately 20 solicitors and 4 paralegals, working under the leadership of a Legal Director.

The team handles a significant volume of litigation, with solicitors typically managing considerably larger caseloads than you may encounter in many private practice environments. As such, strong organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage a busy workload are essential.
