Current Vacancies

Solicitor

We are interested in hearing from a dynamic commercial solicitor looking for an opportunity to get involved in a practice in its early stages of development. The role would be based in our new office Amersham but would be responsible for working with our client base across the South of England, Midlands and Wales.

This will be a challenging role with clear opportunities for development as the practice grows further.

The successful candidate will need to be able to demonstrate significant experience in our core areas of expertise:

Commercial Law
Property Law
Environmental Law
Construction Law

This person should have clear and precise communication skills.

This will be a key role and will be expected to be one of the main drivers in expanding our active client base. It is likely that the suitable candidate is currently either a sole practitioner, looking for an opportunity to be involved in an organisation with greater support, or a solicitor with a following looking to take the next step in their career path.

The Practice will offer a competitive salary package and will actively support the successful candidate’s training and development. In particular we will look to support that person in gaining additional qualifications relating to our areas of expertise.

We welcome contact from interested persons by e-mail to our Practice Manager,
