Job Details

There's no more exciting time to be thinking about joining Womble Bond Dickinson than now.  We've made no secret of the fact that we're ambitious and our recent move to become a transatlantic firm is just further evidence of that.  For our people this makes for a really exciting future, one in which everyone has a role to play in furthering our ambitions whilst enjoying exciting and fulfilling careers.  And the dynamic nature of the legal sector is just one challenge that we need to respond to as a business to ensure that our clients get the best possible service from us and our business continues to be sustainable.  One of the ways in which we're responding to the market is through continued investment in our Legal Solutions Centre; a team of solicitors, chartered legal executives, paralegals, management information specialists and legal project managers, capable of providing support to the wider business on a regular and ongoing basis, for high volume projects or secondment opportunities, and providing some services directly to clients. 

We've a team of highly motivated and high performing paralegals, but to ensure they continue to deliver we've put in place a team of qualified lawyers to provide technical supervision and training to the various paralegal teams.  We're now looking to strengthen the team further with an additional Real Estate lawyer. Our remote-working model is working really well for us and therefore this role can based anywhere in the Southwest reaching as far as Bristol and Southampton. As most of the team are based in Plymouth, we'll need you to be able to come into this office for team catch ups once or twice a month.

So what are we looking for?

We're looking for a Real Estate lawyer, technically strong, with previous experience in managing or supervising people, ideally paralegals, but certainly with a passion for developing talent.  You'll be part of a team responsible for providing technical supervision and development to our paralegals, but will also work with the wider real estate team, managing your own property matters from secured lending, property insolvency, landlord and tenant and portfolio management instructions for national clients and corporate occupiers, to asset management work for investors as well as work in the social housing and education sectors.  You'll work closely with the Legal Solutions Centre Director and other senior lawyers in the team to continue to build a credible and high performing team of paralegals, with the flexibility to respond to the changing needs of our clients, our business and our profession, driving growth in the team and, as a consequence, revenue for the business.

This is a unique opportunity for you to combine your technical expertise with your natural flair for people development in supportive and collegiate environment. But don't worry, your own personal development won't take a backseat. Our amazing Learning and Development team have created a fantastic development programme which will help support you in this role by enhancing your business and leadership capabilities.

Who are we?

What makes it great to work here?

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits!  We like and make time for each other enabling us to establish professional relationships that become lasting friendships.  In addition, through our D&I practices and programmes we work hard to ensure that difference is visibly valued and welcomed.
