You’ll be a qualified solicitor in England and Wales with a current practising certificate, bringing at least three years’ post-qualification experience within relevant areas of property and housing law.
We’re particularly interested in experience across commercial and residential property, leases, housing conditions, residential landlord and tenant matters and/or property litigation.
What we’re looking for:
- Strong knowledge of residential repairs and fitness legislation
- Experience of the Civil Procedure Rules and the Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims
- Demonstrable experience independently managing contested property or housing litigation
- Strong drafting, negotiation and legal analysis skills
- The confidence to advise and constructively challenge stakeholders at different levels
- The ability to manage a busy caseload and competing priorities independently
- A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach that balances legal risk with operational realities
- The ability to translate complex legal issues into straightforward, practical advice
Experience gained within a registered provider, local authority or other public-sector landlord would be particularly valuable, although it isn’t essential.
Experience securing injunctions or other remedies for access to residential properties, instructing external advisers, delivering training or developing legal precedents and guidance would also be advantageous.
