Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Location: Central London 
Start Date: ASAP
Salary: Competitive, DOE

An excellent opportunity has arisen with a well-regarded and expanding legal practice based in Central London. They are currently seeking an experienced Property Litigation Solicitor to join an established team handling a broad range of residential and commercial property disputes.

This is a key appointment with scope for genuine long-term progression.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing a varied caseload, including:
  • Landlord and tenant disputes (residential and commercial), including service charge/rent recovery, forfeiture, and dilapidations
  • Possession claims due to rent arrears or other breaches
  • Boundary disputes, rights of way, rights to light, and party wall issues
  • Easements and restrictive covenants
  • Nuisance and trespass claims
  • Leasehold enfranchisement and lease extension matters
