Real Estate 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 50 law firm to achieve “Platinum 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 makes Shoosmiths a fantastic place to work.

Our national Real Estate team is one of the largest in the UK, spread 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 is an established and mature practice with an unrivalled client base comparable to major City firms, and a stand-out, Tier-1 ranked practice within the region.

We have a new opportunity for an Associate to join our Thames Valley team.  The successful candidate will 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.

You’ll be joining a market-leading team where the work will be of the highest quality and with plenty of scope to take early responsibility. We pride ourselves on the exceptional client service we offer and it is vital that the successful candidate demonstrates their commitment to this.

You will be passionate about 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 applicants who are based in the Thames Valley or have links to the area.

We place a lot of belief in our values, 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.

Our approach to our people is underpinned by our approach to diversity, inclusion and well being. Our ambition is to build a diverse and ambitious workforce that reflects all backgrounds and talents, and a workplace that is supportive and inclusive, recognises and nurtures talent, and has a strong sense of community between colleagues.

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.
