We help clients overcome a constantly evolving list of challenges. Examples of ground breaking projects we are working on with clients are:

• helping GPs to expand primary care provision by setting up GP federations and super-practices;
• supporting companies developing novel cell therapies and gene therapies;
• helping charities and social enterprises to initiate new organisational structures and 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 Team

Our Real Estate team has a dynamic and varied mix of work across both the private and public sectors with considerable experience of acting for clients with multi-sector expertise which we believe is rarely found in any other law firm. We act on acquisitions, disposals and leases with a capital value of over half a billion pounds, annually.

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.

The Role 

We are now seeking an ambitious and exceptional Real Estate Lawyer, between 4-8 years PQE to join our highly regarded team in our Manchester office.

This role will work predominantly on our Corporate Support work which will involve handling a highly varied workload including but not limited to Sales, Acquisitions and Secured Lending work as well as landlord and tenant matters and Corporate Relocations; combining an understanding of the development process coupled with the requirements and constraints of the private sector, healthcare and the not-for-profit sectors

Experience of working within the Healthcare sector would be advantageous, but is not essential, as the successful candidate will be commercially minded, who can work closely with our clients and provide an efficient, friendly and jargon-free service on a wide range of commercial property matters. Ideally, you will also be comfortable with providing training and guidance to junior solicitors and trainees and paralegals as appropriate.


Skills and Competencies

4-8 PQE with previous wide-ranging experience working within commercial property law.
Flexible and willing to take on a varied workload.
