Job Description
Job description
Calling all commercial property lawyers looking in Bristol. Fantastic opportunity for someone looking to get stuck into a broad array of high quality work within a supportive and collaborative environment.
About us
We're a Top 100, full-service UK law firm with just over 500 employees. With 4 offices in Bristol, Birmingham, London and Watford, you'll be struck by our close-knit and friendly culture. We believe in integrity and authenticity- in each one of us being ourselves both in our interactions with each other as well as with our clients. With a reputation not just for the quality of our work, but also for the qualities of our people, we strive to recruit individuals who are proactive and passionate about what they do and able to demonstrate humour and humility in equal measure.
The Role
Sitting within our large and collaborative real estate department, the beauty of this role lies in its breadth. You'll gain the opportunity to work closely with a number of our commercial property Partners, undertaking non-contentious work for a real variety of clients across many different areas. Here at VWV, we carry out a wide range of commercial property work for public and private sector clients (from small regional organisations through to larger national institutions and household names). The work will include property development, landlord and tenant, asset management, acquisitions and disposals, property and estate management and commercial property work for our well renowned education sector. Please note you will not be expected to have expertise in the latter.
About you
You're most likely working at or around the Associate or Senior Associate level and have strong experience in commercial property work. Whilst we'd like you to have gained exposure to a broad range of property work, we recognise that everyone's career journey is different, so if you've found your role to date to be more specialised than you'd hoped, we'd still be interested to hear from you. For us, your enthusiasm is as important as experience and ability.
Perhaps you're currently working with a Top 100 UK law firm or maybe your career has taken an in-house route. Either way, if you have good experience of advising commercial property clients and a passion for your subject, then we'd be delighted to hear from you.
Here at VWV, we recognise that each one of us is an individual. We are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this role, then please do call us (see contact details in the "How to Apply" section below), as we will be happy to do so.
Where will I be working?
At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture that we hold dear. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really shapes our culture. Whilst we operate a hybrid model of working, for this role we would like you to be based from our newly refurbished Bristol office for 3 or more days of the week. In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture as well as facilitate cross referral opportunities from your colleagues in other teams. We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.
How to apply?
Whilst we're renowned for our transparent and welcoming culture, we know that making the next career move can be daunting. We've all been there! To help you to get more of a flavour for life at VWV and to find out what our own people say about us, we invite you to watch this short video on the right hand side. If you feel ready to apply, then please click on the red "Apply Now" button at the foot of the advert.
If you have one or two questions on the role or firm before you feel happy to apply, please contact me, Emma Latchem-Hughes, Talent Acquisition Advisor, ELatchem-Hughes@vwv.co.uk or call me in complete confidence on 07340 6327+8.
Recruitment Agencies
We are in a period of exclusive direct sourcing for this role and are not accepting applications from agencies. We politely request therefore that you do not send candidates through. Any named or anonymised profile or CV sent to us will be deemed an unsolicited approach and deleted.
