Property Litigation Lawyer
Posted on Jun 3, 2026 by CV-Library
Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom
Legal
Immediate Start
£75k - £75k Annual
Full-Time
Opportunity: Property Litigation Lawyer (Up to 5 Years PQE)
Location: Exeter (Flexible and Hybrid Working)
Salary: Up to £75,000 + Bonus
If you're a property litigator who wants better work, more trust and a team that actually feels like a team, this could be worth a chat!
This is a chance to join a long-established, highly respected South West firm with a strong litigation reputation and a genuinely interesting caseload. Based in Exeter, the team acts for a broad mix of clients - including landowners, developers, charities, councils, agricultural businesses, landed estates and high-net-worth individuals - so the work is varied, complex and far from routine.
They're growing their property litigation offering and are looking for a Property/Commercial Litigation Lawyer from NQ up to around 5 years' PQE to come in and build their experience within a supportive, well-structured team.
What You Will Be Doing:
You'll pick up a broad range of property-related disputes, including:
Commercial landlord and tenant disputes
Residential landlord and tenant matters (including evolving legislation and challenges in the sector)
Boundary disputes, rights of way, covenants and adverse possession
Wider property-related contentious work
Some exposure to related commercial litigation (including insolvency/debt recovery linked to property matters)
It's a proper mixed caseload, with the support around you to develop confidence and depth in your work.
What This Looks Like Day-to-Day:
You'll run your own matters with trust from day one but you won't be left to sink or swim. The team is collaborative, responsive and used to working across their wider real estate and sector teams, which means a steady flow of good-quality internal referrals alongside growing external instructions.
There's also genuine encouragement to explore areas you want to specialise in over time, rather than being boxed into a narrow remit.
What We Are Looking For:
NQ-5 PQE solicitor with property litigation experience
Someone confident managing their own caseload with appropriate support
Commercial, practical and good with clients
A team player who wants to build relationships internally and externally
Interested in developing a long-term career and potentially a niche area of expertise
Why This Firm Stands Out:
This isn't a place where you're left to figure it out alone but it also isn't overly rigid or hierarchical.
You'll get:
Real investment in training and development
A healthy balance between challenge and support
A genuinely collaborative litigation team
Encouragement to build your own profile and BD skills
A sensible, modern approach to hybrid working
High-quality work without the constant pressure cooker environmentBenefits:
25 days' holiday + bank holidays (option to buy/sell up to 5 days)
Hybrid and flexible working (this is built in - the focus is on output and trust, not presenteeism.
2 volunteering days per year
Cycle to Work scheme + season ticket loan
Medical healthcare
Generous pension scheme
Enhanced family leave
Annual bonus
Reduced legal fees
Regular social events
If you're open to something that feels more balanced, more supported and still interesting workwise, it's worth having a confidential conversation to see if it lines up with what you're looking for!
