2 weeks ago

Kendal, United Kingdom Harrison Drury Solicitors Full time

Harrison-Drury is a market leading Firm of solicitors with offices across the North West servicing both business and private clients. We have been successful for a fourth time placing in the Top 100 Best Mid-Size Companies to work for in the UK.


We are an employer of choice because we have a culture that challenges the conventional law firm approach and focusses our energy on getting great results for our clients, while attracting and developing brilliant people.


The property litigation team is recognised in the Legal 500 for its technical expertise in providing quality commercial services to clients. Our team acts for businesses and individuals across England in the full range of contentious property disputes, from landlord and tenant and real estate litigation to property contract claims and professional negligence claims involving property professionals.


Due to the recent expansion of the team and to the services we provide, we are looking to recruit a junior solicitor with property litigation experience to work out of Kendal office. The successful candidate will be responsible for their own caseload as well as assisting senior fee earners on their files, but the role is much more than that. We are looking for someone with the drive and ambition to grow and develop their role within the team both internally and externally. We will provide the necessary support and investment to allow them to achieve their personal and professional goals as a property litigation solicitor.


The team and the work we do:

The team in Kendal consists of 1 Partner, 1 Senior Associate, 1 trainee and 1 Paralegal. The range of clientele is extensive, from independent business owners, retail occupiers, large property development companies and individuals in both the commercial and residential sectors. The work is varied, challenging and interesting and covers a wide range of landlord and tenant matters including: lease renewals, dilapidations, break clauses and forfeiture. There has also been a recent influx of trespass and possession instructions into the team, alongside the steady stream of work relating to boundary disputes, rights of way/easements and advice on restrictive covenants.


Whilst based in Kendal, the team works very closely with the other team members based in Preston. There is also the opportunity to work from our other offices when required to develop client and internal relationships. We offer training and development opportunities to the junior solicitors in the team, in order to provide them with the tools to develop their commercial and technical skills and help grow their offering within the team. We also encourage and support business development in all members of our team.


Typical duties include:

  • Providing excellent client service
  • Developing relationships with clients
  • Responsible for smaller matters under supervision
  • Draft correspondence and court papers
  • Liaise and correspond with the Court, instruct counsel and experts
  • Attend court hearings and other all party meetings
  • Providing support to other team members as required and have the ability to demonstrate an appropriate level of management and supervision of junior members of the team including support staff
  • Developing knowledge, experience and expertise in the subject areas
  • Demonstrating the experience and knowledge to deliver good quality legal advice
  • Work as part of the team and with other teams at Harrison Drury
  • Promoting the values of Harrison Drury both internally and externally


Required skills and experience:

  • 0-4 years PQE
  • Ability to manage own caseload with appropriate supervision
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Good organisation and planning skills with the ability to prioritise work to meet timescales and a desire to help develop processes
