Job Description

Leasehold Enfranchisement Solicitor

Top 100 Law Firm Southampton Hampshire

A long standing and reputable client of mine is looking to appoint a solicitor to their Leasehold Enfranchisement team, ideally in Southampton, but there can be some flexibility and their location (Surrey/Hampshire).

This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor looking to develop a career in leasehold work with a leading firm handling high-profile residential and mixed-use matters.

The successful candidate will work on a variety of leasehold and enfranchisement matters, supporting partners and clients across Hampshire and the South East.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Advising on freehold acquisitions and enfranchisement disputes

  • Drafting notices, leases, assignments, and related documentation

  • Conducting due diligence and liaising with valuers and other professionals

  • Providing commercial and pragmatic advice to clients

  • Managing your own caseload while collaborating with the wider property team

I am looking for someone who:

  • Has experience in leasehold enfranchisement, lease extensions, or collective enfranchisement

  • Is ideally 2+ PQE, though candidates with slightly less experience will be considered (solicitor, lawyer or legal exec)

  • Demonstrates strong technical knowledge and attention to detail

  • Is client-focused, proactive, and commercially minded

  • Has ambition to progress within a well-established, growing property team

The Firm

Why Apply?

  • Exposure to complex and high-value leasehold work

  • Opportunity to develop a career in a niche property area

  • Clear progression pathway and support for professional development

  • Competitive salary and benefits

  • Work-life balance in a respected regional practice
