Locum Property Lawyer
Our long-standing local authority client is looking to appoint an experienced commercial property lawyer to join its Legal Services team on an interim basis.
This is a varied role covering the Council’s day-to-day commercial property work alongside residential property and housing-related matters. The successful candidate will provide pragmatic, commercially focused legal advice and be able to manage a broad caseload with minimal supervision.
The work will include a mixture of:
- General commercial property transactions and advice.
- Open space transfers and associated property matters.
- Residential conveyancing, including Right to Buy transactions and buy-backs.
- Property work relating to the Council’s new homes programme.
- Housing-related property matters.
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating leases, transfers, licences and other property documentation.
- Providing practical legal advice to officers and internal stakeholders.
- Managing a varied caseload and progressing matters efficiently to completion.
Person specification:
We are looking for a qualified lawyer with solid experience across commercial property and residential conveyancing.
You will ideally have experience of working within a local authority or other public-sector environment, although strong private-practice property lawyers with relevant experience will also be considered.
This is an interim position with an initial duration of 3-6 months, with scope for further extension.
The client is ideally seeking attendance once a week or fortnight; however, fully remote working will also be considered.
