An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Senior or Managing Associate to join a market-leading Housing and Regeneration team. This is a hands-on, client-facing role with significant responsibility from day one, offering the chance to work at the forefront of the affordable housing sector.

You will act as the day-to-day lead contact for clients, manage multiple matters simultaneously, and work closely with developers, funders and other stakeholders. You will also supervise and support junior team members, contribute to business development, and help drive the continued growth of a nationally recognised, ambitious team.

This role offers clear scope for progression, a supportive and collaborative environment, and the opportunity to play a key part in a high-performing practice.

  • Commercially minded, able to balance legal risk with practical solutions
  • Organised and proactive, comfortable managing a busy and varied workload
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build credibility quickly with clients
  • Experience working as part of a collaborative team and supporting more junior lawyers
  • Motivated by being part of a high-performing, growing practice
