More about the Residential Property Team
Led by Mike Wilson (Partner and Chair of the Property Division), our Lymington-based team is part of our wider Residential Property Team. This portion of the team is well-renowned for providing legal advice on a wide variety of residential property transactions, particularly those of a higher value, and often involving additional complexities such as complex financial arrangements, very short timescales, listed buildings and large portions of land. While based in the idyllic Lymington office, our team are able to (and regularly do) advise on transactions in London, the South East and further afield.
Our team pride themselves on their client-centric approach; they recognise the importance of fully understanding a client’s objectives and ensuring they receive an efficient, pragmatic, and dedicated service regardless of the complexity of their matter. This approach paves the way for repeat instructions from returning clients and their families, and there are numerous examples of the team servicing multiple generations of the same family.
Day to Day:
As an a Associate, you will manage your own caseload of high-net-worth and complex residential property transactions, establishing yourself as a trusted expert as you maintain existing relationships with the firm’s clients while developing your own. Additionally, you will play a vital role in the ongoing growth of the team, and be key driver of its continued success. There will be significant opportunity to be involved in wider firm business development and social activities.
This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced Residential Property lawyer to join the team as an Associate and be provided with the ongoing training, development, and support necessary for them to progress towards Senior Associate.
What we look for:
- A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with prior experience dealing with high-value residential property transactions.
- Previous experience of (or supporting with) the management of a team would be an advantage but is by no means essential; what is important is a genuine interest and desire to develop your skills in this regard.
- We do not tend to use PQE as the sole measure of experience, but we estimate that this position would suit somebody with at least 2PQE. Ultimately, we are keen to hear from individuals who are currently at or feel ready to step into an Associate role, and who are keen to develop further as part of our specialist team.
- You will have experience in, or a keen interest to be involved in, marketing and business development activities.
- We are human-first in everything we do and seek people who share this trait. You will therefore have great communication skills, a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and the ability to think creatively.
If you have the required skills and experience and are keen to advance your career as part of our leading Residential Property Team, then we strongly encourage you to apply.
