Property Litigation Solicitor - Exeter
Join a Leading Team in Housing Management

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Property Litigation Solicitor or FCILEx to join a well-respected and fast-paced housing management team in Exeter. This role is open to applicants from Newly Qualified (NQ) level up, with no upper limit on seniority. Whether you are at the start of your career or looking to take the next step, we encourage applications from all levels.

Role Overview: In this role, you will be handling a variety of property litigation matters, particularly in housing management. Your caseload will include disrepair claims, anti-social behaviour injunctions, breach of tenancy injunctions, possession claims, adverse possession, boundary disputes, and leasehold disputes. You will represent clients in County Courts and the Property Tribunal, and there will be an expectation that you conduct your own advocacy, particularly at directions and case management hearings.

You will also provide advice to clients, supervise junior members of the team, and maintain client relationships through direct contact, including delivering targeted training and preparing client communications such as newsletters.

Key Requirements:

    Experience: You will have strong litigation experience, ideally within housing management or a related sector. Applications are welcome from NQ solicitors up, with no limit on seniority.
  • Skills: A practical, proactive approach to legal issues is essential, along with excellent communication skills to ensure clients are kept informed. You will also be expected to supervise junior team members.
  • Advocacy: You will conduct your own advocacy in hearings and case management sessions.
  • Location: Initially, the role will be office-based in Exeter to ensure you are familiar with the team and processes. The role allows for hybrid working, but you will be required to attend the office at least two days a week, in addition to any court appearances and other duties.

What the Firm Offers: The firm values its people as its most important asset, offering a supportive environment where challenge and expectation are balanced with care and support. They are committed to your professional development, investing in training and infrastructure to help you reach your full potential. With a strong focus on high-quality work, healthy growth, and happy teams, this is an excellent opportunity to join a firm that fosters a collaborative and positive culture.

If you're an experienced property litigation solicitor with the ability to manage your own caseload and support junior team members, this could be the perfect role for you to advance your career in Exeter.
