We are looking to recruit a residential development lawyer with circa 1 – 7 years PQE, to act for our expanding client base of housebuilding and strategic land clients.

Our Housebuilding & Strategic Land (HSL) team is one of the largest residential development teams in the UK and is supported by large planning, plot sales, construction, environmental, agricultural, litigation and tax teams – with 80+ lawyers within the related HSL sector group.

We act for the majority of the top 10 and top 20 housebuilders, local and national developers, housing associations, landowners (from individuals to major Plc regeneration companies), local authorities, investors and promoters in the residential development and strategic land sectors. We have been extremely successful with recent national housebuilder panel wins (both new appointments and re-appointments).

Our vision is to be the best firm in the UK for residential development and to grow whilst maintaining our unique culture, where ‘doing the right thing’ and looking after our people remains at the heart of what we do.

We are looking for a Real Estate lawyer that can be based in Sheffield (with flexible working available). Dependent on the level of experience, ideally the candidate should have :

• A proven track-record in acting for housebuilders, promoters, developers, land owners, housing associations and local authorities
• Good and growing client relationships
• Contacts with the leading residential development land agents in the region
• Competency with more routine transactions such as conditional and unconditional contracts, options, golden-brick and other affordable housing transactions, back-to-back sales, deeds of easement, infrastructure agreements, overages, site-assembly, and service charge / management agreements
• Some experience of more complex transactions such as strategic land / promotion agreements / hybrid agreements, collaboration agreements, land pooling, building licences, mixed use schemes, PRS, institutional investment, portfolio charging and / or portfolio acquisitions
• A good understanding of VAT and SDLT issues
• A good understanding of affordable housing transactions

The successful candidate will be provided with further exposure to these areas as well as an extensive training scheme to support future career development. The most important criteria for us is someone who is ambitious, client-focussed, a team player and highly competent.
