Shoosmiths - UK Law Firm of the Year Winner at the Legal Week British Legal Awards 2015.

A leading UK law firm with a network of offices from the South Coast to Scotland, working together as one national team. An innovative practice and the first top 100 law firm to achieve “Gold Standard” Investors in People, our values and culture are not just words on our website but are the heartbeat of the firm. The lack of barriers between departments, a real lack of hierarchy, zero tolerance for arrogance and pomposity makes Shoosmiths a fantastic place to work.

Our Real Estate group is one of the largest in the UK, representing an impressive range of clients from developers, investors and corporate occupiers, banks and other funders.

With increasing work levels our Birmingham commercial development team are keen to speak to solicitors of 1+pqe demonstrating strong commercial and technical experience or a strong interest (depending on the level of qualification) in representing development and investment clients on a variety of real estate matters.

The work will include but not limited to the grant and exercise of options, conditional contracts, agreements for lease and pre-lets, development agreements, development management agreements, forward funding and acquisition and disposal work. There is also the chance to represent banks and banks’ customers in putting together development finance and investment finance deals and packages.

The successful candidate will work closely and in partnership with clients and partners in the development and investment team based in Birmingham. The team has a track record in acting on significant investments and developments and also bringing team members on all the way through to partnership.
