This is a permanent, full time role for a Real Estate Solicitor with a minimum of 4PQE. Our client is recruiting for a talented, dynamic and commercially focused Practice Development Lawyer to join their team. Working with a multi office team of over 140 fee earners, this role is vital to the on-going development of the Real Estate business group, strategy and client service experience at an exciting stage of the firm's growth and development.
The role will mainly focus on internal KM support and activities including continued input into KM awareness, coaching and training but you will also be encouraged to deliver external briefings and improved profile. As part of an existing Real Estate PDL team you will help to deliver strategic and commercial insight into legal, market and regulatory developments and trends as well as assess the impact for key clients and the firm. You will help to develop thought-leadership and improvements to the way our client works, impacting directly on profitability and the future of the business. Essentially you will become a trusted advisor to colleagues in terms of knowledge management.
To be successful in this role, you will bring a proven track record in quality real estate work, ideally gained from a large city or regional firm or a senior in-house position. You will have great client service skills, and be able to demonstrate your key role in delivering excellent client service. You will be able to demonstrate a passion for working collaboratively, and for sharing knowledge and experience in an accessible way. A genuine inquisitiveness about the business (and that of clients) and the breadth of our client's real estate offering will allow you to recognise and develop opportunities. You will also need the gravitas and experience to challenge convention and processes, to innovate and influence at all levels.
In return, this new role offers the right candidate a unique opportunity to make a real difference to an already talented and focused team, supported by a collaborative team of PDLs across the business as well as a clear career structure that rewards and develops you. For the right candidate our client could consider reduced hours, or a combination of some home working once established in the role.
