A leading organisation operating at the forefront of the green energy sector is looking to appoint a Senior Property Lawyer to join its established in-house legal team.



If you are interested in applying for this job, please make sure you meet the following requirements as listed below.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior real estate lawyer seeking a broad, high-value and genuinely varied in-house, commercial property lawyer role.


The role will see you providing commercially focused property advice across a diverse portfolio, with a particular focus on Landlord & Tenant and development work.


The Role


Your work will include:


Leading on complex Landlord & Tenant matters, acquisitions, disposals, leases and licences.

Advising on major development projects, including options, development agreements and multi-party land arrangements.

Supporting major energy, infrastructure and large-scale development projects from inception through to completion.

Advising on the property aspects of bids, planning and local authority projects, working closely with Estates, Development and Commercial teams.

Taking ownership of high-value projects and providing pragmatic, commercially focused advice to senior stakeholders.


The role offers genuine variety and the opportunity to work on high-profile projects with significant commercial impact.


About You


We're looking for an experienced real estate lawyer with 8+ years' PQE, although quality and breadth of experience will be more important than PQE alone.


You'll ideally have:


Significant development and transactional real estate experience.

Strong Landlord & Tenant experience.

A track record of handling large-scale and complex property projects.

Excellent commercial judgement and the confidence to operate autonomously.

Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to work effectively with senior business colleagues.


You may currently be working in private practice at Partner/Legal Director level, or already operating at a senior level in-house.


Why This Role?


This is an opportunity to move in-house without compromising on the quality or complexity of the work. You'll have exposure to major development, infrastructure and energy projects, alongside a substantial Landlord & Tenant workload, and will become a key legal adviser to the Estates function.


If you're a senior real estate lawyer looking for a high-profile, commercially focused in-house role with genuine breadth, autonomy and responsibility, this is an opportunity worth exploring.


The business has lawyers based in multiple locations across the UK if you like to be office based. xwzovoh They are very open to full time remote working, and several of the team work in this way already.
