Real Estate Associate

Our Client

Our client, a leading UK law firm, is seeking a talented Real Estate Associate to join its Real Estate team in London. Known for its market-leading work across investment, development, regeneration, and corporate occupier matters, the firm also stands out for its positive, team-centric culture. New joiners, including lateral hires, are welcomed into a supportive and empathetic environment where collaboration is valued and sharp elbows are rare. With a strong focus on career development, flexibility, and work-life balance, this is an excellent opportunity to build your career in a firm that genuinely invests in its people.

The Role

As a Real Estate Associate, you will work closely with senior lawyers and partners on a wide range of complex and high-value commercial property transactions, advising clients across sectors including investment, development, retail, corporate occupiers, hotels, and leisure. The role will cover everything from acquisitions, disposals, and property management to landlord and tenant matters and high-value residential transactions. You will also support the corporate and insolvency teams on M&A and restructuring work involving significant property assets. Beyond client work, you’ll have the chance to contribute to business development initiatives, and help shape the future success of the team — all within a genuinely supportive, collaborative, and inclusive culture.
