Join One of the UK’s Leading Agricultural Property Teams
Cambridge | Hybrid Working | Exceptional Benefits Package
Are you looking to build a long‑term career in rural property and agribusiness work with one of the most respected teams in the country?
This is an outstanding opportunity for a newly qualified solicitor or associate‑level lawyer to join a nationally recognised Real Estate team working at the forefront of the agricultural and rural property sector.
You’ll be joining a specialist team that advises some of the UK’s most significant landowners, farming businesses, estates, institutions and investors on complex, high‑value transactions. From day one, you’ll gain exposure to sophisticated work that many lawyers wait years to access.
Whether you’re already working in rural property or are looking to develop a specialist career in the sector, this role offers exceptional training, support and long‑term progression within a highly regarded national practice.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Market‑Leading Agribusiness Team Work within one of the largest and most respected agricultural property teams in the UK, advising on some of the most significant rural transactions in the market.
- Interesting, Varied and High‑Value Work From landed estates and farming businesses to renewable energy projects and strategic land transactions, no two days are the same.
- Early Client Exposure Build relationships directly with clients, agents and professional advisers from the outset, gaining responsibility and experience far earlier than many comparable firms.
- Outstanding Career Development Develop specialist expertise within a growing sector that continues to attract significant investment and long‑term demand.
- Genuine Work‑Life Balance Join a firm recognised as one of the UK’s best employers, combining high‑quality work with a supportive and collaborative culture.
The Role
You’ll advise on a broad range of rural and agricultural property matters, including:
- Sales and acquisitions of farms, estates and agricultural land
- Investment purchases and disposals
- Strategic land and development projects
- Agricultural and business tenancy matters
- Farming partnerships and succession‑related transactions
- Renewable energy projects including solar, wind and battery storage schemes
- Equine property transactions
- Mineral leases and related agreements
- Property finance and refinancing work for landowners and rural businesses
The work is intellectually stimulating, commercially focused and often involves substantial landholdings and complex ownership structures.
About You
We’re keen to hear from:
- Newly Qualified Solicitors through to Associate level
- Candidates with experience in rural property, commercial property or real estate
- Lawyers with a genuine interest in agriculture, landed estates or the wider rural economy
- Individuals who enjoy building client relationships and becoming trusted advisers
- Team players who thrive in a collaborative and ambitious environment
Agricultural property experience would be advantageous, but candidates with broader real estate experience and a genuine interest in the sector are encouraged to apply.
