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.

What's on offer?

• 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

What the firm is looking for

• 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

Why this role?

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.
