Job Details

Position: Private Property & Agriculture Solicitor/Associate (2-8PQE) 
Salary: Dependent on experience 
Location: Bristol/Somerset 

Overview 
I’m looking to speak with experienced agricultural solicitors interested in joining a leading Legal 200 firm, handling a diverse portfolio of country property, agricultural, and commercial transactions. This is a new position due to ongoing growth of the team, operating across Bristol and Somerset, joining a wider national team of around 100 fee-earners. 

The Role 
You will manage a diverse caseload of rural property matters, including high-value residential properties, listed buildings, unregistered land, working farms, estates, and renewable energy projects. Your work will cover buying, selling, and mortgaging agricultural land, advising on tenancies, rights of way, support payments, and environmental issues. You will also collaborate with planning, estate planning, and litigation teams to provide a holistic service to clients, including landed estates, farming families, private individuals, banks, and investors. This gives you the opportunity to develop strong client relationships while meeting their high expectations. 

Who 
Working with respected senior practitioners, you’ll sharpen your technical and client management skills, tackle challenging work, and advance your career. Ideally, you’ll have a genuine interest in agriculture and farming businesses, excellent communication, client management and teamwork abilities. 

Why 
You’ll be joining a firm that prioritises its people, fostering a supportive, inclusive, and dynamic culture; passionate about helping employees realise their full potential while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Flexible working arrangements empower you to perform at your best, whether in the office or from home. You’ll benefit from a comprehensive learning and development program, a range of wellbeing initiatives, and a flexible benefits package.
