Real Estate Associate (2–4 PQE) | Global Top-Tier Firm | Strong Progression Platform

If you’re a Real Estate Associate looking to step into a truly global platform while continuing to build on high-quality transactional experience, this opportunity offers a compelling next move.

Joining one of the world’s largest and most highly regarded real estate practices, you’ll work on a broad mix of complex, high-value transactions across the UK and internationally. The role offers exposure to blue-chip clients and cross-border matters, alongside the chance to develop within a team that combines technical excellence with deep sector insight.

The Firm

This firm is recognised globally for the scale and strength of its Real Estate practice, advising across the full spectrum of property matters including development, investment, finance and asset management.

The London team sits at the heart of an international network, working seamlessly with colleagues across multiple jurisdictions to deliver coordinated, cross-border advice. Continued global expansion has strengthened the firm’s ability to support clients on increasingly complex and international mandates.

Despite its size, the firm maintains a collaborative and integrated culture. Associates benefit from working closely with partners and multidisciplinary teams, gaining exposure not only to high-quality legal work but also to the commercial drivers behind major real estate transactions.

The Role

You will join a busy and well-established Real Estate team, advising on a wide range of commercial property matters for a diverse client base.

Your work will include acquisitions and disposals (including corporate share transactions), asset management, and landlord and tenant matters. You’ll also be involved in drafting and negotiating key real estate documents such as sale and purchase agreements, leases, agreements for lease and ancillary documentation.

Alongside transactional work, you’ll support on due diligence exercises, including the preparation and review of reports on title, and collaborate closely with colleagues across construction, tax, finance, planning and corporate teams, often on multi-jurisdictional matters.

The role offers a strong balance of responsibility and support, with the opportunity to take ownership of matters while continuing to develop within a highly experienced and internationally connected team.
