Legal 500 Firm
Agricultural and Rural Property
Solicitor 2-5PQE
Reading

My client is a leading Thames Valley law firm located in the centre of Reading, providing services for a wide range of clients, from multi-national companies to small family businesses.

The team are currently looking to recruit a 2-5 years PQE solicitor to join their growing team. The team is looking for a solicitor who can build their experience working collaboratively on rural matters, whilst also running your own caseload. This may include more straightforward commercial property transactions should you so wish. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate an interest in the rural sector and an affinity with the team's clients and contacts.

As part of the role, you will work across a range of work-types, which will include more traditional agricultural property work along with assisting clients with all manner of diversification projects. Clients will span many areas to attract your interest and you will advise and assist on a wide range of matters connected with rural land including sales and acquisitions of agricultural land and buildings, drafting overage provisions, farm-related tenancy issues including succession rights and surrenders, wayleaves and easements, property development/investment work, renewable energy projects and more. You may, from time to time, also get involved in supporting the wider commercial property team. You will receive good supervision and training, with the opportunity in time to build a name for yourself in a rewarding and specialist discipline. The team will encourage you to get involved in business development opportunities as part of the team and firm generally.

Please apply as directed or confidentially contact Aidan McAvinue at Search Legal for more information. Alternatively, if this role is not for you, I am working on a variety of other Real Estate law opportunities with ranked teams in Reading so would be interested to talk to any Real Estate lawyer.
