Fantastic opportunity not to be missed at this outstanding Top 50 law firm with a major regional presence, which is now looking to expand its Planning & Development team in the regions. Ideally, they are seeking a Solicitor with at least 5 Years' PQE to join as a Principal Associate, Legal Director or Partner and take a significant role within the national Planning team.

The existing team is split nationally, but they are keen to establish a bigger presence and are open to growing the team from any of their regional offices, so there will be scope for you to take a lead on growth within your office & team.

The work in place will consist of a broad spread covering most planning work that consists of: non-contentious legal agreements, planning enforcement, CPO, highways / public rights of way, planning strategy and new town advice. The department acts for a lot of local government & social housing clients, individuals, large private and charitable estates, as well as retail operators. There is a considerable amount of CPO & Land Tribunal work that can be dealt with too.

Due to the seniority of this appointment, the salary banding is wide and all levels will be considered for this position, with circa £80,000 being the lower end of the bracket. In addition to a fantastic basic, there will be an additional bonus scheme and flexibility on offer that includes a hybrid working that allows 2 days per week in the office and 3 days at home.
