StratforduponAvon, Warwickshire, United Kingdom Lodders Solicitors LLP Full time £40,000 - £80,000 per year

About the Company

Lodders is an ambitious and forward-thinking law firm, putting client service and our people at the heart of everything we do. Lodders people work hard together to find excellent solutions for our clients in business, land, property and life.

About the Role

We are looking for a solicitor to join our Agriculture and Landed Estates team, working closely with and supporting senior fee earners on a wide range of matters and having their own case load. This is an excellent opportunity for those seeking continued career development, with real opportunities for matter ownership from day one and client contact.

The Agriculture and Landed Estates team at Lodders covers all aspects of legal work for the agricultural and rural client base, principally property-related and acts for a wide range of clients. The team focuses on all aspects of non-contentious work, advising on farm and rural land acquisitions and disposals but also agricultural tenancies, partnership matters, as well as estate management, secured lending, and succession transfers. We work closely with our private client team on succession and partnership matters and estate administration, with our strategic land team on development matters and with our renewable energy team too.

Key tasks/responsibilities

Working across a variety of tasks and responsibilities including:

  • Title review and reporting.
  • Land sales and purchases.
  • Transfers of whole and part.
  • Overage arrangements.
  • Agricultural Tenancies – for landlords and tenants.
  • Deed of Easements.
  • Land Registration.
  • Sales by Auctions
  • Secured lending work
  • On all matters, dealing directly with solicitor and client enquiries, along with any internal enquiries
  • Ensuring that all client matter schedules are up to date and are maintained for both internal and external use
  • Participating in and instigating business development activity, including attendance at appropriate events and production of content for publication
  • Undertaking a range of continuing professional development activities

Knowledge, education and experience required

You will be able to demonstrate:

  • Relevant post qualification property (not necessarily agricultural) experience.
  • A commercial approach to problem solving and providing innovative solutions
  • Strong organisation skills with the ability to manage and prioritise workloads, working to tight deadlines where the input of others is often required, keeping accurate time records, organising files and carrying out all necessary administrative tasks
  • Thoroughness and attention to detail
  • Confident and effective communication skills
  • The ability to build effective working relationships with clients and colleagues at all levels
  • A commercial approach to client service

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to progress their career and enjoy a challenge within a thriving rural team with plenty of scope to have client contact and contact with other rural professionals.

We would like you to have at least 1 year of post-qualification experience in property, but that level of pqe is not a pre-requisite nor is direct agricultural experience, but some interest in the countryside and the rural world would be an advantage.

You will be able to demonstrate a strong intellect, evidenced with a high level of academic achievement, and be someone who shows initiative, drive, and excellent organisation skills.

We expect you to be a genuine team player and a great communicator, who enjoys helping and working alongside others. You will be eager to learn, develop and hone your skills to take advantage of the opportunities for career development.

Pay range and compensation package

Competitive salary plus excellent benefits in a thriving culture of collaboration with progression opportunities.

Equal Opportunity Statement

We are fully committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive working environment, where every individual is valued and respected. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and strive to ensure equality of opportunity throughout our recruitment process and beyond.
