Location: London
Salary: Competitive
If you’re a Property Litigation Solicitor looking for greater autonomy, a genuine opportunity to influence the direction of a growing department, and a clear route to further progression, this role offers exactly that.
You’ll join an established London-based property litigation team with the freedom to manage your own caseload while playing a key role in the continued growth of the practice.

You’ll also have the chance to undertake advocacy on selected matters and work within a collaborative environment that actively supports professional development and career progression.
In addition to a competitive remuneration package, you’ll benefit from a supportive culture, long-term progression prospects, and access to international networking and development opportunities through a global legal network.

- Handle a varied property litigation caseload across residential and commercial matters.
- Advise on landlord and tenant disputes, including rent recovery, service charges, forfeiture and dilapidations.
- Manage possession proceedings and property-related claims.
- Deal with boundary disputes, rights of way, rights to light and party wall matters.
- Advise on easements, restrictive covenants, nuisance and trespass claims.
- Handle lease extensions, collective enfranchisement matters and beneficial interest disputes.
- Support business development initiatives and help grow the department.
- Undertake advocacy in suitable cases where appropriate.
What you’ll need
- Qualified Solicitor with strong Property Litigation experience.
