Nottingham, United Kingdom Actons Solicitors Full time

We’re looking for an experienced, Senior Property Litigation Lawyer with at least 5 years PQE to join our Dispute Resolution team, with a major focus on business development.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and proactive Property Litigation lawyer who combines strong business development skills with technical excellence – and wants to join a firm where you can play a key role in our ongoing and future success.  You’ll be part of a friendly, down-to-earth team, and enjoy a healthy work-life balance with opportunities for hybrid working.

You’ll perform a fundamental business development role in developing and growing a property litigation practice, also working closely with our Property team to build strong relationships and win work from existing clients and contacts, as well as developing new ones.

We also work with several significantly larger organisations including some local and national household names as well as national and international financial institutions.

  • In-depth knowledge of a range of property litigation issues.
  • Experience in restrictive covenant disputes, adverse possession, dilapidations, access and boundary disputes as well as with commercial landlord & tenant work including a good working knowledge of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 is desirable.
Business Development

  • Identify and develop opportunities to win new work.
  • Maintain and build on the team’s links with colleagues across the firm.
  • Proactively seek out and develop new business opportunities through a variety of marketing and business development activities, including LinkedIn.
