Solicitor - Property Litigation

Department: Real Estate - Property Litigation

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Bristol


Description An exciting opportunity has arisen for a 0-3 PQE Solicitor to join our busy Bristol real estate team to be primarily focused on telecoms, with an opportunity to work with real estate colleagues across the UK on nationwide projects.   Our real estate department covers every aspect of contentious and transactional commercial real estate work, including in particular telecoms, development, investment, asset management, construction and landlord/tenant work.  Clients include telecoms operators, property management and development companies, house builders, health trusts and government bodies (local and central), owner-occupiers and institutions, both in the UK and overseas.     With offices across England, we are continuing to grow our Property Litigation offering, with seamless cross-border services for our clients in the UK backed by full national and international support from across the firm.

Key Responsibilities Our Solicitors tell us that they enjoy the firm's collaborative working environment which reflects our open door policy and cultural principles of being supportive, creative, determined, and clear.  There are also many opportunities to network with other lawyers and other colleagues across our business, to be part of wider firm projects and initiatives and for the candidates to "build their brand".   The work expected of the role will largely be geared towards real estate telecoms litigation work handling and assisting with the following:
  • Serving statutory notices and advising on their validity and conditionality
  • Dealing with contentious lease renewals, termination notices and proceedings
  • Interpreting and enforcing lease obligations
  • Arrears recovery and tenant insolvency
  • Obtaining possession of commercial premises
  • Potential for expanding supervisory role (subject to PQE/practical experience)
  • Dealing with service charge disputes
  • Acting in dilapidations matters including service of notices and advisory work

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
  • A 0-3 PQE Solicitor with a strong educational background
  • Experience in commercial landlord and tenant disputes is preferable but not essential. Candidates with a strong background in commercial and civil litigation (and looking to move into property litigation) will be given serious consideration.
  • Be used to delivering commercial advice to clients who do not have time to read lengthy correspondence. They should be comfortable with key date and tracker maintenance.
  • Have handled a varied workload in accordance with client protocols and with an appropriate level of supervision.
  • Some experience with the use of client portals and case management software would be useful.
  • Any telecommunications experience acting either for landowners or operators would be useful, but full training from a well-regarded practice would be given so is not essential.
  • Support marketing and business development activity within the team e.g. article writing, attending marketing events and client training.
