The Brief
We are looking to recruit an England & Wales qualified lawyer with at least 8 years PQE to join our fantastic, growing mixed-use development team in Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds.
The ideal candidate will focus on development work, particularly large scale, mixed-use and/or residential-led schemes, and take a lead role in delivering projects for our portfolio of both public sector and private sector clients.
The role encompasses the largest, most complex and exciting regeneration and development projects for a mix of public and private sector clients across England and Wales, including running/participating in regulated procurement processes, acquisitions and disposals, collaborations and equalisation arrangements with other landowners, securing funding and investment, negotiating development agreements, master development agreements and lease structuring, and dealing with the property components of new corporate joint ventures.
You will have the opportunity to be part of transactional teams supporting clients across the UK, working alongside colleagues from our other offices and benefiting from our internal legal professional support network.
About the Team
You will be joining our Property Development & Investment Team in Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds. Regardless of the office you join, you will be part of our UK Property Group, which operates as a national team, allowing collaboration with colleagues across our network of 8 offices in major business centres.
Our Property Development & Investment Team advises clients across the whole spectrum of their real estate requirements, including acquisition, development, funding, investment, and asset management, with a focus on major logistics and manufacturing projects, alternative asset classes (hotels, student accommodation and BtR), private sector residential development, public sector led development opportunities, new business park developments, Grade A office developments and investments, major infrastructure projects, and nuclear sector support.
We are well placed to navigate the volatile economic conditions in the UK and provide an excellent platform for any aspiring real estate lawyer to build a long-term and secure career with the firm.
You would be working with Tom Johnson and Rebecca Rowley, based in our Birmingham office, and Anne Bowden, based in our Leeds office. The team collaborates to service regeneration and major development projects across the public and private sectors.
