Housing Litigation Lawyer
London Local Authority
Locum contract
Hybrid
Sellick Partnership is excited to be recruiting for a housing litigation lawyer, solicitor, or barrister to join a well-regarded legal services team in a London Council.
This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified solicitor or barrister who wants to extend their experience in public sector housing litigation work. We are looking for a housing litigation lawyer to advise client officers and conduct litigation on behalf of the council. Local Authority experience is highly desirable.
The successful housing litigation lawyer will work on a wide range of housing and litigation matters at all levels of court and tribunals, with a particular focus on disrepair work. The candidate must have disrepair experience as the role will involve progressing disrepair cases from start to finish.
The housing and litigation team is friendly and supportive and can offer training where appropriate. The team and council are highly regarded and have worked on interesting cases.
The position will suit an ambitious team player who can adapt well within the local authority. Our client is happy to consider candidates from either a public sector or private practice background. The role will involve office presence once a week at the offices in South London, and there may be a requirement to attend court hearings in person. The council offices are easily accessible via public transport. The role is locum initially for 3 months and is likely to be extended for 6-9 months + rolling contract.
We encourage interested applicants to apply immediately to be considered for shortlisting. Alternatively, should you require further information or wish to discuss your suitability before applying, please contact Rayhaneh Tehrani in our Manchester office for a confidential discussion.
Sellick Partnership is proud to be an inclusive and accessible recruitment business and supports applications from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. Please note, our advertisements use years of experience, hourly rates, and salary levels purely as a guide, and we assess applications based on the experience and skills evidenced on the CV.
