Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited
Your new firm
Our client is a prominent regional law firm recognised for high-quality work and strong rankings across The Times' Best Law Firms, Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners. The firm's Property teams are well regarded, with a strong reputation for technical excellence and client service.
Your new role
You will join a nationally recognised team, working closely with developers on the sale of individual plots forming part of wider residential developments. You will manage your own varied caseload of plot sale transactions, working with a specific set of clients to ensure smooth, efficient and proactive handling of each matter. This role provides excellent exposure to a wide range of development types, client relationships and commercial pressures, offering valuable experience within a highly experienced and collaborative team. You will work closely with colleagues across Plot Sales and Land Development, benefit from ongoing mentoring, and have the opportunity to grow your expertise as you develop your reputation in this specialist area.
What you'll need to succeed
This position is open to a broad range of legal professionals. Unlike many traditional fee-earning roles, a specific qualification is not required. The firm is open to Solicitors, Legal Executives, Licensed Conveyancers, and candidates who are qualified by experience, ideally bringing at least one year's experience managing plot sales transactions, ideally with some broader residential sale/purchase experience. You will have strong communication and relationship-building skills, enabling you to work closely with developers, sales teams and colleagues.
What you'll get in return
You will be joining a forward-thinking, supportive firm that places genuine emphasis on professional development, wellbeing and flexible working. The firm offers high-quality work, clear opportunities for progression and a friendly, approachable culture grounded in trust. Hybrid working is available, and although the role is full-time, the firm is open to discussing alternative working patterns to support individual needs.
What you need to do now
If you are interested in this role or would like further information, please get in touch for a confidential discussion. If this job isn't quite right for you but you're exploring new opportunities, we'd still love to hear from you. We would expect a lawyer with the given PQE to have gained the level of experience required, but this does not preclude applications from those with more or less PQE.
