We're currently supporting at a leading national law firm looking for an ambitious Agriculture & Estates Solicitor to join its established team in Cambridge.
The firm has one of the largest specialist Agriculture & Estates teams in the country, handling everything from day-to-day agricultural and rural property work through to significant strategic projects. You'd be working alongside a Partner and Legal Director with deep roots in the farming and rural community, getting exposure to a varied client base and high-quality work from early in your career.
The role
- Advising farmers, landowners, rural businesses, institutions and landed estates
- Farm, estate and agricultural land acquisitions and disposals
- Agricultural tenancies, including AHA tenancies and Farm Business Tenancies
- Leases, licences, easements, rights of way and other rural property arrangements
- Land development and strategic land opportunities
- Natural capital, biodiversity and environmental projects
- Renewable energy and rural diversification work
- Refinancing, secured lending and estate management
- Building your own caseload with support and supervision from senior lawyers
- Getting involved in networking and business development within the rural community
What they're looking for
- Qualified solicitor with around 1-4 years' PQE
- Experience in agricultural, rural or commercial property transactions
- Strong technical and drafting skills with a practical, commercial approach
- Good communication and client relationship skills
- A collaborative attitude and enthusiasm for working in a specialist team
- Interest in building relationships with land agents, surveyors and other rural professionals
Direct Agriculture & Estates experience is a bonus but not essential. If you have a solid property or real estate background and want to specialise in the rural sector, the firm is keen to hear from you.
