Solicitor

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

We are keen to speak with newly qualified solicitors regarding opportunities within our Real Estate Leeds based team. Strong commercial and technical experience in representing clients on a variety of real estate matters is a must, together with a clear desire to take early responsibility. Working in close partnership with an amazing national client base, you will have significant opportunities to be fully involved in business development and supported in building great client relationships.

An excellent academic record and training with a reputable firm is required in addition to exceptional client relationship, communication and organisational skills. A commercial and collaborative approach with the ability to progress work quickly is essential. This is a fantastic role within a hugely successful, ambitious and supportive team.

Shoosmiths is a committed Equal Opportunities employer promoting equality of opportunity. This means that everyone who either applies to or works for the firm is treated equally, whatever their gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
