Property Litigation Solicitor/Lawyer

Opportunity: Junior Property Litigation Solicitor / Lawyer

Location: Exeter (Hybrid and Flexible Working)

Salary: Up To £60,000 + Bonus + Annual Profit Share

A property litigation role with great work, supportive development and a firm where you actually have a stake in the business.

If you're 1-3 PQE and looking for your next step in property litigation then carry on reading!

I'm working with a well-established and highly ranked Legal 500 firm that is looking to strengthen its Property Litigation team, offering the chance to work alongside experienced lawyers while building your own caseload and developing your expertise.

The Opportunity:

The team has a particular strength in the housing and property sector, acting for registered providers, local authorities and other housing clients on a broad range of property litigation and housing management matters.

You'll get plenty of variety in your day-to-day work, including:

Managing your own caseload with appropriate support and supervision Advising clients on housing management issues, property disputes and litigation Supporting senior lawyers on more complex and high-value matters Drafting pleadings, legal correspondence and other documentation Attending and assisting with court hearings and mediations Building relationships with clients and getting involved in business development

It's a role that will give you a good balance of responsibility and support. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your work while having experienced lawyers around you to learn from and turn to when matters become more complex.

For someone at this stage of their career, it's a chance to develop strong technical foundations while also becoming increasingly confident with clients and your own matters.

The Firm:

There's a lot to like about the firm beyond the work itself…

It has an employee-owned structure, meaning everyone has a stake in the success of the business and shares equally in its annual profit share, alongside a performance-related bonus.

The firm prioritises a working environment where people can do good work without work taking over their lives. Flexible and hybrid working is well established, with an emphasis on trust, autonomy and giving people the flexibility to work in a way that suits them.

The firm also puts a lot into its people, with mentoring, professional development, funded qualifications and study leave, alongside a comprehensive wellbeing offering.

It's a collaborative, people-focused environment where you'll be encouraged to develop your career while still having a life outside of it.

About You

Ideally, you will be a qualified solicitor or lawyer with 1-3 years' PQE, have experience in property litigation and want to build a specialist career in this area.

You'll be someone who enjoys good quality work, takes pride in giving practical advice and wants to keep learning. You'll also be comfortable working collaboratively and building relationships with clients and colleagues.

Most importantly, you don't need to have everything figured out already. This is a role for someone who wants the opportunity, support and responsibility to keep developing.

What Is on Offer?

Alongside a competitive salary and bonus, you'll have access to:

25 days' annual leave + bank holidays + birthday leave Buy up to an additional 7 days of annual leave Private medical insurance Group life assurance Enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay Up to two weeks working overseas per year Mentoring and professional development Funding for qualifications and study leave Comprehensive wellbeing support and counselling Three days' paid volunteering leave Cycle-to-work scheme and season ticket loans
