To enjoy working at Clarion and thrive in the firm you will need to be motivated, a team player, commercially minded, calm under pressure and be able to work equally well autonomously and collaboratively.

The role is based in Leeds with the ability to work from home 2-3 days per week.

They are recognised for the great quality of their work, which is a mix of estate management and advisory. The Property Litigation team is part of the Real Estate team.

Clarion has a great reputation as an employer of choice and our culture is vital to our ongoing success. We genuinely care for our employees and hire only the best talent (good people with outstanding technical skills). In exchange for your efforts you can expect:
