Description
• *Make a Real Impact**
Bevan Brittan is a leading commercial law firm. Alongside our recognised expertise in housing, local government, and health and social care, we are specialists in the construction, energy and resource management, higher education and financial services sectors.
Supported by our valued business services professionals, our award\-winning and growing legal teams provide almost 2,000 organisations with commercial, corporate, property, finance, regulatory, employment and litigation (commercial and clinical negligence) legal and advisory services.
As a responsible business, we embrace four values: Relationships, Reputation, Responsible and Results. These give us a sense of purpose. They influence the decisions we make and how we work with each other. Importantly, they motivate us to deliver meaningful outcomes for our clients and the communities that we're part of.
Consistently recognised as one of The Times Best Law Firms and highly ranked across the legal directories, we are proud of our hard\-earned reputation. Our 2024/25 financial results confirmed both revenue and profit growth for a twelfth consecutive year, ensuring our ability to continue investing in our people.
Looking to the future, we're targeting ambitious growth and success. And we're looking for the best people to be part of it.
• *Join a team of experts and progressive thinkers**
Due to continued growth, we are currently recruiting a junior Property Solicitor to join our Housing Development team based in our London office (with flexible hybrid\-working). The Housing Development team act for large housing associations and local authorities, advising on all aspects of land acquisition, development and regeneration, via land\-led and package deals, S106 acquisitions and joint ventures aimed at housing delivery.
We work on some of the largest and most high\-profile housing development schemes in London and the South\-East, as well as smaller and rural housing developments which are essential to local communities.
Bevan Brittan has strong recognition in the independent legal directories, including Chambers \& Partners and Legal 500\. In both guides, we are consistently ranked in the top tier for our practices across the UK, with many individuals recognised as leading lawyers.
• *The Role**
This role is a fantastic opportunity to work within a busy, friendly team on a wide range of Property matters, predominantly focussed upon land acquisition and disposal, development and regeneration, across a range of scheme and deal sizes, often working with colleagues in our Construction, Corporate, Governance, Housing Management, Planning, Plot Sales, Public Subsidy and Procurement teams.
The workload will include a mix of standalone deals and other property matters (including smaller land purchases, easements, licences and infrastructure agreements to run alone), as well as working alongside senior lawyers on larger JV and other schemes, assisting with title reporting, document drafting and completions.
We offer a supportive team environment, with an emphasis upon teamwork, knowledge sharing and career development, with a flexible working approach, and regular contact with partners and other senior lawyers.
• *What we are looking for from you**
The successful applicant will possess the following skills, which are key to the role:
• Previous experience in a Property\-related practice area (not necessarily housing)
• An interest in developing as a Property lawyer and the necessary skills, in a housing setting
• Well organised with a keen eye for detail
• Strong communication skills, with a professional approach to work
• Confidence in working directly with clients and colleagues in other teams
• An interest in business development, and developing networking and client management skills
• An ability to build strong interpersonal relationships
• An aptitude for drafting and legal analysis
• A willingness to develop an understanding of related legal areas, including Construction and Planning
• A team player with a keenness to work collaboratively with colleagues at junior and senior levels
• A practical and commercial, "can do" approach to problem solving
• An interest in the social housing sector and the wider public sector
• *Work with approachable people**
When we ask colleagues what makes Bevan Brittan a great place to work, the most popular thing they say is "the people". The overwhelming consensus is that we make time for each other. We welcome questions and support each other. Naturally, we look for new colleagues who align with our values.
• *Supported to be your best**
• *Hybrid working**
We operate a hybrid working model based on the needs of our clients, teams and people. Our core business hours are 9am \- 5:15pm Monday to Friday, but we're open to our people working more flexibly around those times and welcome a conversation with you if you have any questions about this. We try to offer you the flexibility to work your week in a way that suits you.
• *Learning, Development \& Progression**
We're committed to supporting your professional and personal development needs.This means that we offer a range of tailored training courses and you will have lots of opportunity to learn from those around you. We actively encourage progression and this is reflected in our annual review and promotion processes. You will be supported by your line manager to achieve your full potential.

As a Bevan Brittan employee, you'll have access to a variety of services that support your wellbeing. We've pledged our commitment to The Mindful Business Charter and lots of our people contribute to our Wellbeing Responsible Business strand, which organises an annual calendar of wellbeing events and initiatives.
• *Benefits**
• A minimum of 25 days holiday (plus the option to buy up to an additional 5 days)
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• Generous pension scheme
• Private medical insurance through Vitality
• Biennial private health assessment through Nuffield Health
• Life assurance
• Access to Employee Assistance Programme

• *Acting responsibly, now and for the future**
To us, being a responsible business is second nature; a core part of Bevan Brittan's identity. Our colleagues are heavily involved in shaping and delivering activity across the four pillars of our Responsible Business strategy : Community Engagement; Environmental Sustainability; Equality, Diversity \& Inclusion; and Wellbeing.
Our people deliver pro bono legal work for charities and not\-for\-profit organisations.
