Real Estate Disputes Partner

2 weeks ago

Royal Tunbridge Wells TN, United Kingdom W&P Partners Full time £90,000 - £120,000 per year

W&P Partners Legal Recruitment are working with a highly respected UK law firm seeking to appoint an experienced Real Estate Disputes Partner to take a leading role within its well-established Property Litigation practice.

This rare opportunity has arisen due to a forthcoming retirement within the team, presenting an incoming Partner with a substantial existing workload, alongside the autonomy to further grow and shape the practice. Whilst a following would be advantageous, it is by no means essential as there is already plenty of high-quality work available.

The Team

  • 8 lawyers strong, including a number of experienced Associates and Juniors.
  • Led by the firm's Head of Dispute Resolution, who also oversees the Real Estate Disputes function.
  • Operates with considerable independence, managing its own caseloads with strong collaboration across departments.
  • You will have direct reports and mentoring responsibilities, supporting the development of junior team members.

About the Practice

The Real Estate Disputes team is known for delivering pragmatic, commercial and human-focused solutions to clients across the full spectrum of property-related contentious matters. The team are active across all dispute resolution forums including the High Court, County Court, Lands Tribunal and First-Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) whilst strongly advocating for early and cost-effective resolution via mediation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.

All team members are active Property Litigation Association members, working closely with surveyors and specialist experts.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Qualified Solicitor / Barrister with a proven track record in Real Estate Disputes.
  • Existing Partner or ambitious Legal Director / Counsel ready to step up.
  • A trusted advisor with strong client-handling skills and commercial acumen.
  • Comfortable managing a team and contributing to strategic direction.
  • A following is welcome, but not essential given the existing pipeline of instructions.

What's on Offer

  • A genuine succession opportunity within a thriving national-level team.
  • Competitive Partner remuneration with clear equity / progression routes.
  • A supportive and collaborative culture, free from bureaucracy.
  • Opportunity to influence growth whilst inheriting an immediate platform of work.
