About Hempsons

With around 250 lawyers and support staff working across our five offices nationwide, Hempsons is a leading law firm for the health and social care sectors, charities and social enterprises. This is a time of change and opportunity for our clients, as highlighted by the sharpening focus on innovation, technology, integration and new ways of working.

Our aim is to provide outstanding legal services that deliver the best possible client outcomes whilst nurturing a culture that makes us a “great place to work”.

The Role

This role will provide the opportunity to build upon the experience you have already gained and will enable you to advise on a wide variety of matters including property acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant, secured lending, corporate support and development projects; combining an understanding of commercial property with the requirements and constraints faced by the health and social care and not-for-profit sectors.

The Team

Our Real Estate team have considerable experience of acting on public, private, charitable and mainstream commercial schemes, with multi-sector expertise which we believe is rarely found in any other law firm.

Our aim is to provide an efficient, friendly and jargon-free service. The key to achieving this aim is to understand each client’s goals, whether corporate or individual, public sector or private. As a national team we work collaboratively (within the real estate team and with other teams within the firm) and office location is not a barrier to becoming involved in interesting and quality projects.
