What you'll need to succeed You'll need relevant legal qualifications and practical experience in property law - ideally with Commercial Property experience, though experience in Residential Property would be considered. Experience of supporting clients in the Education sector would be a distinct advantage. To thrive in this role, you should be confident managing your own caseload where appropriate, opening case files, and providing cost estimates to new clients. You'll be expected to conduct title reviews, draft and negotiate leases and transfers, and accurately record time in line with firm policy. A solid grasp of property processes and legal documentation is key, alongside a proactive, adaptable mindset that reflects the firm's values and commitment to high-quality client service. What you'll get in return This is a meaningful opportunity to join a growing property team within a values-led firm that specialises in supporting the education sector. With a strong social purpose at its core, the firm offers a chance to contribute to work that makes a genuine impact on schools and communities. You'll enjoy a healthy work-life balance, a supportive environment, and flexible working arrangements - ideal for full or part-time Property Lawyers based in the Southwest or considering a move to the region. What you need to do now If you are interested in this role or are looking for further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. If this job isn't right for you but you are looking for a new job, please feel free to get in touch for a confidential discussion on your career.
