Property Litigation lawyer NQ PQE

Commercial law firm in Leeds is looking to recruit a Property Litigation lawyer of 0 to 3 years’ PQE. The team covers every aspect of contentious and transactional commercial real estate work, including in particular telecoms, development, investment, asset management, construction and landlord/tenant work. Clients include telecoms operators, property management and development companies, house builders, health trusts and government bodies (local and central), owner-occupiers and institutions, both in the UK and overseas.

This is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to join our client’s busy real estate team based in Leeds to be primarily focused on telecoms, with an opportunity to work with real estate colleagues across the UK on nationwide projects.

The work expected of the role will largely be geared towards real estate telecoms litigation work, handling and assisting with the following:
• Serving statutory notices and advising on their validity and conditionality
• Dealing with contentious lease renewals, termination notices and proceedings
• Interpreting and enforcing lease obligations
• Arrears recovery and tenant insolvency
• Obtaining possession of commercial premises

• Acting in dilapidations matters including service of notices and advisory work.

For qualified applicants, experience in commercial landlord and tenant disputes is preferable but not essential.

Newly-qualified candidates will ideally have undertaken a Property-related seat during their training.
