Join our clients’ specialist Housing Management team, where you’ll handle challenging and rewarding litigation work for a strong client base of registered providers. This is a fantastic opportunity for a driven Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (FCILEx) with solid litigation experience to make an impact—both in court and within the team.
