Cambridge, United Kingdom Harrison Clark Rickerbys Full time

About The Role

Due to internal promotions and continued expansion of our Agriculture & Estates team, we are looking to add to our growing team based in Cambridge. We are keen to hear from Associates or Senior Associates looking to join an industry leading national team of rural experts. You will work on all aspects of rural based property work, across our key sectors from high value farm sales and purchases, landed estates and portfolio management, business structures and estate planning (including tenancy work), to secured lending, strategic land, natural capital and renewable energy. You will sit within a wider national team offering a full service to farming businesses and rural enterprises.

To give you just a flavour, we act for some of the largest landowners in the country, 4 of our clients being within the top 50 landowners in the UK. We are leading the way putting in place agreements to unlock Biodiversity Net Gain, Nutrient Neutrality and Natural Capital . In addition, we have helped landowners unlock more than £100m of value through strategic development and renewable energy projects. We also work closely with some of the largest specialist agricultural lenders.

Here in Cambridge, you will be part of the market leading Agriculture and Estates team of HCR Hewitsons which has consistently been top ranked in Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners. Beyond this team, we have 54 fee earners across the firm working closely with the agricultural industry making us one of the largest agricultural teams in the country.

We are committed to the agricultural industry: from supporting the NFU as a Legal panel firm since 2009; to having close links to the CLA, with team members sitting on County committees. The team are also active members of the Agricultural Law Association, with the Director of Education, Committee members, and 4 Fellows of the Agricultural Law Association. We actively support and encourage engaging with industry groups. 

About You

We are looking for lawyers with a passion for the agricultural industry to play key roles in our Cambridge team. You will be supported to develop your career by the partners, whilst also supervising and developing junior members of staff. We encourage lawyers of all levels to get out into the field and to be part of our client relationship and networking initiatives.

The ideal candidates will have worked in rural property previously and will have a working understanding of the demands and nuances of working in the industry. However, applications from candidates with mixed property experience are welcomed.
