Rural Real Estate Solicitor

Profile

NQ role to grow our agricultural practice
We are expanding our agricultural and rural land sector focus and as a result want to appoint a new solicitor within our Real Estate Team.
We are looking for someone with a real passion for rural land and those who own and occupy it. Someone who understands the deep personal associations and traditions involved, as well as the legal and commercial aspects of rural property ownership and use.
In this role, you will work closely with two Senior Associates who have been steadily building the practice and establishing strong relationships with a wide variety of landowners and occupiers, from tenant farmers to landed estates. With them, you’ll advise and assist on a wide range of matters connected with rural land including sales and acquisitions of rural property, varying from small plots of land to large farms and estates, drafting overage provisions, dealing with rural related tenancy issues including succession rights and surrenders, granting wayleaves and easements
and advising on potential property development including a variety of renewable energy projects.  You may, from time to time, also get involved in wider commercial property work supporting the rest of our highly regarded property team. As with all our lawyers, you’ll be encouraged to get involved in business development and other activities as part of growing the practice and your own skills and reputation and there are excellent prospects for career development / advancement in this role.
Ideally you will have gained a year or more of post qualification experience specifically in agricultural property, but we welcome applications from any solicitor (or equivalent)  with a genuine interest in this field who can demonstrate some solid commercial property experience, including those expecting to qualify by September 2021. You will receive good supervision and training, with the opportunity in time to build a name for yourself in a rewarding and specialist discipline.
