Real Estate Litigation Solicitor

Real Estate Litigation Solicitor – Leeds

Amazing opportunity to join a top tier Law firm in Leeds as part of its Commercial Property Disputes team. I’m working with a leading national law firm in Leeds that is looking to strengthen its Real Estate Litigation team with the hire of a bright Associate (1–3 years PQE).

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly regarded practice that is regularly instructed on complex, high-profile disputes for blue-chip clients. The team is especially active in cutting‑edge areas, including litigation arising from the Building Safety Act 2022, so you’ll be exposed to some of the most topical work in the market.

• Competitive salary with an annual bonus of up to 35%
• Lower billable hours target (1,350) than many comparable firms, supporting work‑life balance
• Hybrid working (expected office presence 40–60%)
• Generous holiday entitlement – 25 days plus bank holidays, rising to 31 with service, plus the option to buy/sell leave
• Private medical insurance via BUPA (no compulsory excess)
• Enhanced pension contributions and 4x salary life assurance
• Paid sabbatical scheme after 2–3 years of service

• A qualified Solicitor with 1–3 years’ PQE in real estate litigation
• Solid experience across commercial property disputes (landlord & tenant, development, enfranchisement, building safety, etc)
• A client‑focused approach and the ability to build strong relationships
• Someone ambitious, collaborative and looking to develop within a top‑tier team

The Real Estate Litigation Group is recognised for its market‑leading expertise and its close links with the wider Real Estate practice. The team’s work is high‑quality and diverse, giving you the chance to develop quickly with plenty of partner and client exposure.
