An opportunity has arisen within a Tier 1 ranked transactional real estate team for multiple Associates to act as dedicated legal resources for a designated key client within a structured delivery model. The role offers the chance to focus exclusively on one major client, developing deep sector expertise and strong client relationships, while benefiting from the wider firm's support, training and career development.

The position offers increased certainty and flexibility in hours. It can be office-based or primarily home-based, with travel to the Manchester office at least twice per month (to be agreed depending on experience). Additional attendance will be required initially for team training and occasional visits to other offices to meet the client.

You will manage your own caseload, drafting and negotiating leases, ancillary property documents, tenant due diligence enquiries and lease management applications, and assisting with due diligence on acquisitions and disposals. You will oversee transaction completion, maintain matter status updates, manage WIP and billing, and supervise junior lawyers and paralegals. The team embraces legal technology and generative AI, encouraging new ways of working to drive value.
