  • Qualified solicitor (England & Wales) or equivalent UK qualification.
  • Demonstrable experience in real estate finance matters, including LMA-style lending documentation.
  • Comfortable advising lenders and borrowers on bilateral, syndicated and structured transactions; development finance experience advantageous.
  • At Senior/Principal level: experience supervising and coaching junior lawyers.
  • Strong commercial awareness, drafting and client-facing skills; willingness to support business development and knowledge-management activities.
  • Willingness to be based in a regional office outside London and work flexibly.
