THE FIRM
We have been instructed by a mid size firm with a busy and highly regarded Real Estate & Development team.
The work of the team includes:
- acting for a wide range of developer (both public and private) and contractor clients - commercial, residential and mixed use;
- acting for many occupier clients (including global, industrial, medical and advertising groups, restaurateurs and fashion houses) who have significant real estate assets but where real estate isn't necessarily core business;
- acting for financiers;
- acting for property investors on the acquisition, management and disposal of investment properties; and
- working closely with colleagues in property litigation and supporting colleagues in the corporate department.
THE ROLE
The work is varied, interesting and challenging and the firm is looking to strengthen the team by recruiting a solicitor to support colleagues in all areas of the practice.
The associate will have a solid grounding in general real estate matters and will be comfortable and confident working with minimal supervision handling:
- acquisitions and disposals of leasehold and freehold properties;
- advising on general landlord and tenant issues;
- asset management - licences, wayleave agreements, deeds of variation, ;
- property aspects of corporate acquisition and disposals including the negotiation of property warranties and disclosure letters;
- preparation of reports and certificates of title;
- carrying out due diligence in the satisfaction of bank's requirements in connection with charging properties;
There will also be an opportunity to assist with and become involved in:
- advising landlords or tenants in relation to complex pre-lets with significant landlord and tenant works;
- portfolio sales and purchases;
- acting for overseas investors on the acquisition of investment property;
- advising occupiers in relation to major development and refurbishment of property; and
- providing support to colleagues who are involved in the development of significant mixed use regeneration schemes by handling the commercial lease aspects of such developments including drafting service charge regimes for a mixed use large estate.
They will be able to deal directly with demanding clients, who require a swift, pro-active and commercial approach to their work.
