Opportunity: Property Litigation Solicitor/Lawyer Location: Gloucestershire / South Bristol (Flexible and Hybrid Working) Salary: Up to 80,000 + Bonus Not every Property Litigation role offers something genuinely different. This one does. We're working with a boutique specialist law firm that's quietly built one of the strongest Property Litigation teams in the region. Many of the lawyers joined from large commercial firms because they wanted to keep the quality of work but leave behind the things they didn't enjoy - the office politics, endless hierarchy and painfully slow progression. They've created exactly that. Today, they're known for handling complex, high-value property disputes while maintaining a supportive, down-to-earth culture where people are trusted to do their job, work flexibly and build long-term careers. The Opportunity: You'll join a specialist team that's recognised for its expertise in Property Litigation, advising a diverse client base on a broad range of disputes across England and Wales. The work is varied and intellectually interesting, covering matters such as: Boundary and neighbour disputes Rights of way and easements Restrictive covenants Adverse possession Landlord and tenant disputes Co-ownership disputes Proprietary estoppel Development and telecoms disputes Property-related trusts and probate disputes Mediation, ADR and court proceedings You'll be working alongside experts in the field who enjoy mentoring junior lawyers, sharing knowledge and giving people the responsibility they need to develop. Why This Firm? This isn't a firm where you're expected to spend your career waiting for the next promotion or competing internally for work. The team is collaborative rather than hierarchical, partners are approachable and progression is based on ability rather than time served. Lawyers are encouraged to build their careers internally and the firm's excellent retention speaks for itself. If you're looking for high-quality work without sacrificing flexibility or culture, it's a rare combination. What We Are Looking For: We're keen to speak with Property Litigation Solicitors around 2-6 years' PQE. If you've gained solid disputes experience and are looking to specialise further in Property Litigation, we would also love to hear from you. What Is on Offer? Bupa private healthcare Life assurance Critical illness cover Group income protection 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays Additional holiday with length of service Office closed between Christmas and New Year Long-term progression within a growing specialist practice If you've been thinking about finding somewhere that offers exceptional work and an enjoyable place to build your career, I would love to tell you more!
