Property Lawyer

Property Legal Counsel

Gloucestershire (Hybrid Working)

Permanent or Fixed-Term Contract Considered

Competitive Salary + Benefits

I'm working with an exciting organisation operating within the energy and infrastructure sector to recruit a Property Legal Counsel.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded property lawyer looking to take on a broad, business-facing role within a forward-thinking organisation. Whether you're seeking a permanent position or are interested in a fixed-term contract opportunity, the business is open to considering the right individual.

Working closely with key stakeholders across the organisation, you'll advise on a diverse range of property and development matters, supporting major projects that play a critical role in the organisation's continued growth.

This role offers the opportunity to move beyond purely transactional work, giving you direct exposure to commercial decision-making, strategic projects, and senior stakeholders across the business.

The Role

You'll provide legal support across a varied portfolio of property and land matters, including:

• Supporting the acquisition, development, management, and disposal of property and land assets.
• Negotiating and advising on a range of development, land, and property-related agreements.
• Managing title due diligence, identifying risks, and providing practical solutions.
• Preparing and reviewing Certificates of Title to support financing and investment activity.
• Handling Land Registry matters, registrations, and title enquiries.
• Advising on restrictive covenants, easements, overage arrangements, rights of light, and other property-related risks.
• Supporting large-scale, multi-site development projects across the UK.
• Working closely with development, commercial, and operational teams to support business objectives.
• Assisting with the property elements of corporate transactions, refinancing exercises, and asset disposals.
• Managing relationships with external legal advisers where required.

About You

We're keen to hear from candidates who:

• Are qualified Solicitors in England & Wales.
• Have experience advising on commercial property, real estate, development, or land matters.
• Have gained experience either in private practice or in-house.
• Enjoy working closely with stakeholders and becoming a trusted business partner.
• Take a pragmatic, commercially focused approach to legal advice.
• Are comfortable managing a varied workload in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Experience within energy, infrastructure, development, utilities, or related sectors would be beneficial but is not essential.

Why Apply?

• Work on high-profile development and infrastructure projects
• Be part of a growing and ambitious organisation
• Broad, commercially focused in-house role
• Significant stakeholder exposure and influence
• Opportunity to develop beyond traditional property law
• Flexible hiring approach with permanent and FTC options available
• Hybrid working and supportive team culture
