Agriculture & Estates Lawyer – Work with the Land, Shape the Future

Cambridge or Norwich | Full-time | Hybrid working available

Do you have a passion for the countryside, rural business, and the people who make it thrive? We’re working with a leading national law firm with one of the country’s most respected Agriculture & Estates teams. They’re expanding across East Anglia and looking for an experienced Agriculture & Estates Lawyer (3+ years PQE) to join their friendly, growing team in either Cambridge or Norwich.

This is a rare opportunity to work with high-profile rural clients and estates while being part of a supportive, collaborative, and forward-thinking environment.

The Opportunity

You’ll be part of a nationally recognised team acting for some of the UK’s largest landowners and farming enterprises. Your work will cover the full spectrum of rural property matters, including:

• High-value farm sales and purchases
• Landed estates and portfolio management
• Tenancy and estate planning
• Secured lending, strategic land, and renewable energy projects
• Supporting clients with natural capital, biodiversity and conservation initiatives

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, client contact, and seeing the real-world impact of their work. You’ll be encouraged to get out into the field (literally!), build strong relationships, and play an active part in the rural business community.

About You

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Are a qualified solicitor (3+ years PQE) with rural or commercial property experience
• Have a genuine interest in the agricultural sector and understand its unique challenges
• Enjoy building trusted relationships with clients and colleagues alike
• Are proactive, organised, and commercially aware
• Have excellent technical ability and a keen eye for detail
• Are ready to develop your career in a leading, supportive team
• Experience in natural capital, conservation or landscape recovery work would be a welcome bonus (but in no way essential).

What You’ll Gain

This firm believes in giving its lawyers the trust, autonomy and support to grow. You’ll have access to:

• Competitive salary and bonus scheme
• Private medical insurance, income protection and life assurance
• 28 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Electric vehicle scheme and cycle to work options
• 1/3 gym membership contribution and wellbeing benefits
• Hybrid working with flexibility around your day
• International secondment opportunities (for 0–5 PQE)
• Genuine career progression within a growing national firm

You’ll also enjoy being part of a close-knit, down-to-earth team that works hard but values a sense of humour and community.

Let’s Have a Conversation

If this sounds like the kind of role where you’d thrive -even if you’re not sure you tick every box - we’d still love to hear from you.

All conversations are confidential and focused on understanding your aspirations.
