This employer is a private solicitors practice located in London, EC4 and in Bournemouth, Dorset. All of their lawyers and staff pride themselves on being fit, active and healthy, not stuffy. They opened their doors in 2013 and all have a healthy passion for the outdoors, hence their tagline: 'a breath of fresh air'.
As a firm, they work for both individuals and various types of organisations. Whoever their client, their aim is to truly understand their clients' needs in order to achieve great results and to provide the best possible service along the way.
All of this means that they can pass the massive cost savings on to their Clients, so they only pay for genuine work, skill and expertise... not flashy office-plants.
Scope of the Role:
The role is for a Property Litigation Solicitor to work in the firm’s small but growing Property Dispute team.

Training can and will be provided but the candidate must have sufficient knowledge to start acting on cases from day one.
Whilst the role is based in their Bournemouth office primarily (although there are no requirements to attend the office at this time in any event) the candidate has the option of working in their London office too.
Personal Requirements:
The successful candidate will have a careful blend of maturity, pro-activity, ability to work both on their own and in a team, handle pressure, be highly organised, highly articulate and have the knowledge and experience of Property Litigation and/or Leasehold enfranchisement.
