Associate / Senior Associate - Real Estate (Social Housing & Regeneration)
Birmingham | Hybrid Working | 3+ PQE | Excellent Salary & Benefits Package
Looking for a role where you can combine high-quality work with genuine career progression and the opportunity to make a tangible impact?
I'm currently working with a well-established national law firm that is investing heavily in the growth of its Birmingham office and Social Housing practice.
As part of these growth plans, the firm is looking to appoint an ambitious Associate or Senior Associate to join its expanding Real Estate team, advising a strong portfolio of Registered Providers, housing associations and social housing organisations.
This is an opportunity to join a firm with a clear vision, a supportive culture and a growing client base, offering the chance to play a key role in the continued development of the team while building your own profile within a thriving sector.
The Opportunity
This is more than just another property role.
You'll join a collaborative and highly regarded team that is trusted by clients across the social housing sector to deliver practical, commercially focused advice on complex and strategically important projects.
The firm has ambitious growth plans and is looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey. You'll benefit from excellent client exposure, significant responsibility from day one and a genuine opportunity to influence the future direction of the practice.
The Work
You'll advise Registered Providers and other social housing organisations on a broad range of commercial property matters, supporting acquisitions, disposals, development projects and the management of large property portfolios.
The role offers a varied and rewarding caseload, working closely with clients on projects that not only present interesting legal challenges but also contribute to the delivery of much-needed housing and regeneration initiatives across the UK.
About You
I'm keen to speak with solicitors who:
- Have 3+ years' PQE in Commercial Property or Real Estate
- Enjoy managing client relationships and providing commercially focused advice
- Are confident handling their own caseload
- Possess strong technical and communication skills
- Are interested in developing expertise within the social housing sector
- Want to join a team with genuine momentum and long-term opportunities
Previous social housing experience would be advantageous, but the firm is also keen to hear from strong commercial property lawyers looking to develop their expertise in this growing sector.
