Massons – a premium specialist property law firm

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our growing and award-winning specialist property team.  The team is led by committed and collaborative partners who left major global law firms so they could do things differently.

We are determined to be the best in our field by investing in knowledge, relationships and culture so that our lawyers simply enjoy the process of practising law.

The goal: help our lawyers love what they do, so they can’t help but do it well.

To be considered for this role, ideally you will:

• have at least 5 years post admission experience with a reputable property team
• be technically savvy and have exceptional attention to detail
• be able to demonstrate an ability to lead matters involving:
  • drafting contracts, leases, deeds, agreements and advices
  • high-value and complex property transactions
  • managing large volumes of work under pressure

• have advanced Microsoft Office and legal software skills, particularly Word

Flexible working arrangements

We ask our lawyers to work from the office at least 3/5ths of their working week and to be in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

We set realistic and clear billable targets, with a focus on team results.

Why consider this role?

You will:

• have the autonomy to navigate your own working week whilst being part of a truly collaborative team
• be able to actively participate in business development, planning and practice management both on an individual and team level, with the goal of creating your own practice that is self-sustaining and reflecting your personal work style and specialisations
• be invited to participate in regular team building activities and events
• be mentored based on your specific career goals and objectives
