Job description

This specialist London law firm has built an outstanding reputation within the private wealth market and is consistently recognised by both Chambers High Net Worth and The Legal 500 for its residential property expertise.

The Residential Property team is recognised as one of the premier practices in the market, advising an exceptional client base of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, trustees, landed estates, entrepreneurs and international investors on some of the most complex and high-value residential property transactions in the UK.


This is a growth hire within an established, partner-led team. You will work closely alongside highly regarded partners on sophisticated matters while developing your own client relationships and profile within the private wealth market.


The Role


The team advises on a broad range of premium residential property matters, including:

  • Prime and super-prime freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals across Central London and the country.
  • High-value refinancing and secured lending transactions involving private banks and bespoke funding arrangements.
  • Complex transactions involving trusts, offshore companies, family investment vehicles and wider private wealth structures.
  • Residential investment portfolios, landed estates and mixed-use property holdings.
  • Agricultural and country estate acquisitions and disposals.
  • Residential development acquisitions, site sales and strategic land transactions.
  • Property aspects of wider tax, trust, succession and estate planning exercises.
  • Lease extensions, enfranchisement matters and title restructuring where required.
  • Advising international individuals, family offices and overseas investors on UK residential acquisitions.

The work is highly collaborative, with regular interaction alongside colleagues in the firm's Private Client, Tax, Trusts, Corporate, Construction and Dispute Resolution teams to deliver integrated advice on complex matters.

The Candidate


The successful candidate is likely to demonstrate:

  • 5+ years' PQE gained within a well-regarded London or national residential property practice.
  • Strong experience advising on high-value residential transactions for HNW and UHNW individuals.
  • Excellent technical knowledge across freehold and leasehold acquisitions, disposals and residential finance.
  • Experience acting on matters involving trusts, corporate ownership structures, family offices or private wealth clients would be advantageous.
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation and client management skills.
  • A commercial and pragmatic approach with the ability to manage complex matters autonomously.
  • Enthusiasm for business development and building long-term client relationships.


Why Join?

  • Genuine partner exposure within a close-knit, collaborative team.
  • Strong internal referral network from one of the country's leading Private Client practices.
  • Clear long-term progression opportunities for high-performing lawyers.
  • Collegiate culture with an emphasis on technical excellence, client service and relationship building
