The Real Estate team in Leeds which is headed up by Simon Meek, is the largest team in the office and are continuing to go from strength to strength and with an increase in work from existing and new clients (local and national), growth is very much on the agenda for this team. |
We are seeking an additional commercial real estate Associate to join our thriving and supportive team.
