Real Estate Senior Associate / Legal Director

Birmingham & other office locations Highly Flexible Working

I'm working with a highly regarded UK law firm that is continuing to invest in and grow its Real Estate practice, with an opportunity for an experienced Legal Director / senior Real Estate lawyer to join the team.

This is a senior opportunity for someone who wants to combine high-quality development and regeneration work with genuine client exposure, autonomy and the opportunity to play a meaningful role in the growth of a national practice.

The opportunity

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Advise on major real estate development and regeneration projects
• Take a leading role on complex transactions and projects
• Develop and strengthen existing client relationships
• Play an active role in business development and growing your own practice
• Work closely with senior colleagues across the wider Real Estate and Projects teams
• Support the continued growth and development of the practice
• Mentor and support more junior lawyers within the team

About you

The team is open to experienced lawyers from a Commercial Property, Real Estate or Development background.

Ideally, you will have:

• Strong experience across commercial property and/or development
• Experience handling complex development transactions
• Confidence dealing directly with sophisticated clients
• A strong commercial and pragmatic approach
• An interest in business development and building client relationships

What's on offer?

• A senior position within a high-performing and growing Real Estate practice
• High-quality, complex development and regeneration work
• Excellent exposure to senior clients and major projects
• Strong progression and long-term career prospects
• No mandated office attendance - genuinely flexible working

This is a strong opportunity for a senior Real Estate lawyer who wants the quality of work associated with a national firm, but with the flexibility, autonomy and opportunity to make a visible impact that can sometimes be harder to find at this level.
