Exciting hybrid or fully Home Working opportunity is available for a Team Manager / HOD to join and lead a specialist team of Residential Landlord & Tenant lawyers.

You will be a qualified Solicitor or CILEX/FILEX with strong experience in L&T work acting for Landlords, ideally coming from either a recognised practice, Top 500 or City law firm.

The successful individual will be joining and overseeing a team of lawyers within this niche L&T practice as well as acting for and providing complex advice to Landlord/RMC/RTM clients and professional managing agents on residential property management disputes, breaches of lease covenants, possession and forfeiture claims, leasehold disrepair, trespass claims and tenancy disputes.

Experience with long leasehold enforcement work is essential including handling all aspects of leasehold block and estate management including compliance with all legislative and contractual aspects of that work running cases within all levels of the Court and Tribunal - Property Chamber.

The successful individual will be managing the team as well as servicing the firm's established clients full time (Monday to Friday 9am-5pm). There is also the option to work from the firm's offices in East Sussex 1-2 days per week if required (although this is not mandatory).

The L&T team keep in regular contact by phone, video calls and virtual meetings throughout the week so although this is a "Remote" or "WFH" opportunity you will still feel very much part of a collective team.

You must be IT literate, have experience with Case Management systems. All necessary equipment will be provided for a home office.

A very generous starting salary, bonus scheme, pension and annual leave entitlement is all on offer.
