Property Litigation Solicitor | 6+ PQE | Sussex/Hybrid
This is a newly created role, not a replacement. The work is already there. The demand is growing. What’s missing is a senior property litigator who can step in, take ownership, and help shape what comes next.
A well-regarded Legal 500 firm in Sussex is expanding its Dispute Resolution team with a dedicated Property Litigation hire. You’ll work closely with an established team lead who is currently stretched, giving you immediate visibility, responsibility, and influence from day one.
The Role
You’ll handle a varied and high-quality property litigation caseload, with the autonomy to run matters independently while supporting the wider team’s growth.
- Expect a broad mix including:
- Landlord and tenant disputes
- Leasehold and service charge issues
- Possession and forfeiture matters
Advisory and strategic input for commercial and residential clients
There is also scope to incorporate leasehold work if that aligns with your experience.
This is a role for someone who enjoys being trusted to get on with it, while still having a strong team around them.
About You
- 6+ PQE Property Litigation Solicitor
- Comfortable running your own caseload and advising clients directly
- Strong drafting, negotiation and strategic thinking skills
- Commercial, pragmatic and client-focused
- Keen to play a visible role in a growing team
Why This Opportunity
- New role driven by genuine demand, not backfill
- Immediate responsibility with real influence in a growing team
- Direct support to an established team lead, with strong internal visibility
- Flexible office base across Sussex with hybrid working
- Clear progression with no artificial ceiling
- High-quality work within a respected Legal 500 platform
- Competitive salary with performance-related uplift
The team is small, collaborative and growing, supported by junior resource and a firm that values long-term development over short-term fixes.
If you’re looking for a role where you can step up, be seen, and help drive a team forward, this is worth a conversation.
