Solicitor

Description:

Moore Barlow is currently seeking a Solicitor or Legal Executive to join our Real Estate Disputes Team in either Southampton or Guildford.
More about us:
Formed via a merger in 2020, Moore Barlow is a leading law firm and we aim to be the best law firm to work for regionally. We are a career firm, providing access to high-quality work, long-term career opportunities and an environment built on the premise of being ‘human first’. In this instance, support and progression to Partnership is available for applicants keen to progress. Put simply, we care as much about your career as you do.
We are featured in The Times’ Best Law Firms 2024 list, and consistently achieve recognition for the quality of our services in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.
We are now 450 people, including 280 lawyers and 58 Partners, with offices across the South-East and London.
More about the Real Estate Disputes Team:
Our specialist Real Estate Disputes Team, and a number of its lawyers, have received recognition in both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for the quality of services they provide their clients. Our team works with a wide variety of clients across different sectors, from commercial landlords and developers to private individuals and landowners. They are experts in resolving complex and high-value disputes relating to property and the use of land, working closely with other teams across the firm in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for their clients.
Our team is led by Partners Chris Marsden and Anna Iceton, two highly knowledgeable lawyers with experience working for large London law firms; this means that they are able to provide a quality of service akin to that found in the City, whilst ensuring strong levels of client care and support.
Day to Day:
As a Solicitor, you will manage your own caseload of mixed commercial and residential property dispute matters, with plenty of scope to support the Partners and Senior Associates on the more complex, higher-value, and protracted matters handled by the department. Additionally, our Solicitors play an important role in supporting the less-experienced members of the team as appropriate, including Trainees and Newly Qualified Lawyers.
This position will provide the successful candidate with an excellent opportunity for further professional growth and development; learning directly from two ex-City lawyers, whilst enjoying the flexibility and supportive culture offered by Moore Barlow.
What we look for:
* An academic Solicitor or Legal Executive with prior experience in the field of Real Estate Disputes (AKA Property Litigation). As this is a specialist area of law, we are open to hearing from lawyers who currently have a mixed caseload that involves some real estate disputes, and who are keen to specialise in this field.
* We do not tend to use PQE as the sole measure of experience, but we estimate this position would suit somebody between 0 – 5PQE. This means that we are open to considering those who are currently at or feel ready to step into an Associate role.
* You will be calm under pressure, adopt a naturally proactive approach to your work, and have the ability to adapt to changing priorities at short notice.
* We are humanfirst in everything we do and seek people who share this trait. You will therefore have great communication skills, a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and the ability to think creatively.
* Whilst this position is offered fulltime, we offer a split of working from home and in the office, we are a flexible team and are open to considering alternative working patterns.
If you have the required skills and experience and are keen to advance your career as part of our leading Real Estate Disputes Team, then we strongly encourage you to apply.
