Are you looking to take the next step in your career?  Do you enjoy running an interesting and challenging caseload?

We are seeking an experienced housing litigation lawyer to join our well-respected and fast paced housing management team.

What you’ll be doing

Our clients enjoy working closely with their lawyers as they resolve disputes.  The position has arisen in the Housing Management side of our team. This team deals with everything to do with managing our client’s housing stock and their tenants’ conduct. Principally this involves dealing with disrepair claims, access injunctions, anti-social behaviour injunctions, breach of tenancy injunctions, possession claims, property and land disputes including adverse possession and boundary disputes, and leasehold disputes.

Members of the team regularly appear before County Courts and the Property Tribunal.

There would be an opportunity to conduct your own advocacy (at least through directions and case management hearings) as well as provide ad hoc advice to our clients.

Additionally, there will be direct client contact outside of a case setting through the delivery of targeted training to clients, information to clients through newsletters and managing client relationships.

What we’re looking for

You will have 4+ years litigation experience and a practical, proactive approach.  In addition, you will need to be an effective communicator ensuring that all clients have the information they need.  

What you’ll have

Experience gained from a similar sector will be an advantage.

What we have

We believe that our people are our most important asset, and are committed to supporting our teams, cultivating a healthy culture of challenge and expectation with support and care. We invest in our teams and our infrastructure to ensure that we attract and retain talented staff and are committed to giving all colleagues the opportunity to reach their full potential, with a real focus on training and development.

Our values; high quality work, healthy growth and happy teams are at the heart of everything we do. Find out more about our vision and values, commitment to colleague wellbeing, and colleague benefits below.
