A top‐tier London practice is seeking a property litigation solicitor with substantial post‐qualification experience to join their growing highly regarded team.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage a diverse caseload of commercial lease renewals, forfeiture actions, boundary disputes, and statutory claims from inception through trial and appeal.
• Collaborate with planning, environmental, and construction teams to provide seamless, cross-disciplinary advice.
• Start to be involved in mid level solicitor duties, helping to develop more junior lawyers, setting best-practice standards and embedding a culture of continuous improvement.
• Get familiar with business growth by cultivating client relationships, identifying new opportunities, and contributing to thought leadership through seminars, publications, and industry forums.

What the firm are looking for:

• A property litigator with around 2-5 years’ PQE, ideally gained within leading City or regional practices handling sophisticated property disputes.
• Technical excellence in landlord and tenant law, with ideally demonstrable experience on complex Building Safety Act and/or Party Wall Act matters.
• Commerciality - with a knack for spotting risk, managing budgets, and delivering pragmatic, value-driven solutions.
