My client, an ambitious and forward-thinking regional law firm in the North East is seeking a Property Litigation Solicitor to join its growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for a driven solicitor with the technical ability and commercial mindset to thrive within a developing practice and play an active role in its continued expansion.

The Role
The successful candidate will manage their own profitable caseload, under the supervision of a Director, with responsibility for delivering high-quality litigation advice and practical legal support to a diverse client base. The focus of the role will be property litigation matters, including landlord and tenant disputes, property contract disputes, property-related insolvency issues, rights of way, adverse possession, restrictive covenants and dilapidations.

You will be responsible for drafting and serving statutory and contractual notices, preparing pleadings and witness statements in support of applications, and producing clear and commercially focused correspondence, reports and legal documentation. The role requires the ability to handle complex and high-value matters with confidence, working both independently with minimal supervision and collaboratively as part of a wider team.

In addition to fee-earning responsibilities, you will be expected to maintain and develop strong client relationships, assist with the growth of the department and contribute to marketing and business development initiatives. The role also involves working closely with other departments on joint projects, participating in departmental and firm-wide meetings, contributing to strategic planning and ensuring compliance with internal policies, performance targets and billing requirements. Maintaining professional accreditations and keeping up to date with legal developments will be an important part of the position.

The Ideal Candidate
The firm is seeking a personable and diplomatic solicitor who is a strong team player with excellent negotiation and drafting skills. You will demonstrate the ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously, work effectively to tight deadlines and exercise sound judgement in complex situations.

Strong client care, time management and organisational skills are essential, together with confident oral and written communication abilities. The successful candidate will also have proven experience in business development and marketing, with a willingness to play an active role in growing the department and strengthening the firm’s market presence. The ability to delegate appropriately and work considerately with colleagues and support staff will be key.

Benefits
This role offers the opportunity to join a progressive and supportive regional firm with clear growth ambitions. You will benefit from genuine responsibility over your own caseload, exposure to complex and high-value property litigation matters, and the chance to influence the strategic development of the department.

A competitive salary and benefits package will be offered, commensurate with experience, alongside genuine long-term progression prospects for the right candidate.
