Property Litigation Senior Associate, Leeds

We're working with a leading national firm looking to appoint a Senior Associate (around 4-6 PQE) to their expanding Property Litigation team in Leeds.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join the Leeds base of one of the UK's most respected real estate litigation practices, known for its work with high-profile public sector and not-for-profit organisations across health, housing, and local government. The team's work genuinely makes a difference - and they're looking for someone who shares that sense of purpose.

You'll handle a diverse caseload of property disputes and advisory matters, with examples including:

• Lease renewals and 1954 Act issues
• Restrictive covenants and easements
• Partnership and GP premises disputes
• Possession and 'bed blocker' cases
• Break notices, dilapidations, and estate reorganisations
• Judicial reviews and development-related challenges

You'll work closely with approachable, supportive partners who are passionate about mentoring and developing their people. The team culture is friendly, collaborative, and built around long term growth.

• Quality work - varied, meaningful, and high profile within a nationally recognised team
• Genuine flexibility - hybrid working as standard, with no rigid office rules
• Career development - structured training and exposure across multiple client sectors
• Inclusive culture - a supportive environment where individuality is valued
• Sensible demands - a low chargeable hours target and bi annual 25% bonus

You'll bring strong property litigation experience, excellent communication skills, and a proactive, down to earth approach. Public sector or partnership dispute experience would be a bonus, but enthusiasm and sound judgement are what really count.

If you're ready to join a firm that values people, purpose, and progression - while working on cases that truly matter - we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch to arrange a call, or send your current CV.
