Real Estate Associate (NQ)

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 national Real Estate team is one of the largest in the UK, spread nationally across all offices and representing an impressive range of clients from developers, investors and corporate occupiers through to banks and funders.  The Thames Valley team has gone from strength to strength and offers an unrivalled client base, comparable to major City firms.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an NQ to join Shoosmiths’ Tier 1-ranked Thames Valley real estate team.  This role offers an opportunity to work with some of the largest real estate owners and corporate occupiers in the UK, providing exceptional experience in all aspects of commercial real estate (including acquisitions and disposals, landlord and tenant matters and development, together with property finance), in a friendly and highly supportive team.

This is a great opportunity within a market-leading team where work will be of the highest quality and with plenty of scope to take early responsibility.

You will be able to demonstrate your passion for real estate having spent time in a commercial real estate department as a trainee or in your post-qualification experience. We want to hear from prospective team members who are based in the Thames Valley or have links to the area.

We place a lot of belief in culture and community, and genuinely believe we have something different to offer you at Shoosmiths.  This is reflected in everything we say and do from our use of technology to enable agile working, to the team spirit and culture and our collaborative way of working across offices.

We are a values-driven business – our values are at the core of the firm and we evaluate how we behave in accordance with these values through a competency framework. This role is considered to be at competency Level 1 in our internal framework.

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.
