This is an opportunity within a small Birmingham team, acting for national clients both within the private and public sector across a broad mix of real estate matters.
Client Details
A national law firm.
Description
A Birmingham private practice is looking to grow its Real Estate offering with the hire of a solictor to work alongside the Partners and an Associate.
The firm is a national player with Real Estate teams in multiple office. The Midlands team is small but its client base encompasses not just the Midlands market but also national clients.
The team is on a major panel for public sector work so a lot of the work involves acting for local authorities on high level regeneration and development projects. Equally, the team has a loyal private client base advising on general matters from landlord and tenant to portfolio review work. The team is retained by a large national client for all leasehold review / renewal matters. It's up to you how you would want to split your workload but it's likely the Partners would encourage you to be involved with the full mix of clients so you have exposure to different types of property work.
The team is small so you will have a chance to make an impact straightaway. You'll liaise directly with your own clients and will be expected to get involved with business development and marketing to raise your profile internally and externally.
The Partners see this is an excellent opportunity for somebody who is perhaps at a larger firm and wants to have more autonomy and their own say on matters. If you're in this boat you are probably frustrated with work/life balance and hours too - the team does not work the type of hours that the international players work. Equally, the Partners will look at people who want to make the step up to a larger firm.
Profile
It's likely that you'll have at least 6 - 12 months' experience in Real Estate acting for a mix of clients and on a range of property matters. Our client will look at candidates with differing levels of PQE.
