Job description

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an Infrastructure Solicitor to join a highly successful residential development team at a leading national commercial law firm in Leeds.

Our client is a full-service law firm with a strong national and international presence. With a number of offices across the UK and abroad, they are market leaders in real estate, corporate law, banking, and finance. Praised for their clear and pragmatic methods of legal advice, this is a great opportunity that should not be overlooked.

This is an exciting time to join a leading residential development team in a brand new role for the department. More importantly, the firm is prepared to consider solicitors from a residential conveyancing background and retrain them into the role.

You will be working for housebuilder clients, and the role will include working on infrastructure agreements for matters that arise both during and after site development, putting in place the legal arrangements and agreements to allow the developers to lay roads and utility services which serve developments, working with multiple development stakeholders to negotiate agreements and managing client relationships, keeping them regularly updated on progress.

The firm prides itself on its employee care and offers a flexible, hybrid working pattern with scope for progression moving forward.

The successful candidate should be 3+ years' PQE; however, this level of experience has been given as an approximate guide for applicants, and our client is happy to consider the applications of candidates who fall outside of this bracket.
