Associate - Agricultural Property

A unique opportunity has arisen for a rural property solicitor to join this Top 80 UK law firm based in the City of London.

This is a particularly exciting time to join a dynamic firm with huge scope for personal development and a platform to grow your practice.

The Firm

The firm is entrepreneurial in spirit, dynamic in nature and innovative in approach. This opportunity will offer a level of career investment that is rarely found.

The quality of work that this firm works on rivals that of the larger City Firms. You will find an immensely diverse client base that continues to evolve constantly. The firm has performed exceptionally well over recent years and has grown year on year; they have strategic growth planned over the next 12 months, which will allow them to continue to obtain more market share and invest in strategic hires.

You will find a strong leadership team that promotes an open-door culture where Partners are accessible, but so are resources for them.

In fact, this successful UK law practice is known for providing top-level support to its Partners - this has enabled the Partners to focus on developing their own practice and continuing to grow the firm's size and profit.

There is an excellent social element that is promoted with an active roster of events throughout the year. Hybrid working is standard at all levels.
