We are currently looking for a housing litigation lawyer, solicitor, or barrister, to join a well-regarded legal services team in a London Council.
This is an excellent post for a qualified solicitor or barrister who is wanting to extend their experience in public sector housing litigation work.

The successful housing litigation lawyer will work on a wide range of housing and litigation matters, at all levels of court and tribunals with a particular focus on disrepair work. The successful candidate must have disrepair experience as the role will involve progressing disrepair cases from start to finish.
The housing and litigation team is very friendly and supportive, and can offer some training where appropriate. The team and council are highly regarded and have worked on some really interesting cases.
The post will suit an ambitious team player who will be able to adapt well within the local authority. Our client is happy to consider candidates from either a public sector or private practice background. The role will involve office presence once a week at the offices in South London and there may be the requirement to attend Court hearings in person.
