The team now has a new opportunity for a Lawyer with at least 5 years' experience to join them in our newly refurbished Bristol office.

What will you be doing?

Within this sector we are seeing significant growth.  We already have an impressive list of major clients and panel appointments.  Successful candidates would join a high profile team with the best exposure to high value development work available which will include conditional contracts and transfers, conditional options, collaboration agreements and development agreements, with a focus on high value residential development and investment projects.

There will be plenty of opportunities for client contact and you'll be expected to build and maintain strong relationships with these contacts.  Business development is also an important aspect for all of our lawyers, and you will be expected to contribute to the growth of the team by assisting with the organisation of and attending client events, writing articles for our website or other publications and other marketing activities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a talented and enthusiastic residential team who will be as invested in your career development as you are.  In return, you'll bring a broad and varied skillset that includes previous experience of residential development work.  You'll need to be a robust and resilient lawyer, used to working in a fast paced environment. 

This is a great opportunity to join a growing, busy team where you'll play an integral part in the delivery of some of the UK's most exciting residential developments for premier clients.  The work is fast paced and challenging but the team are collaborative and enjoy what they do, which makes for a positive working environment.
