Real Estate Managing Associate
This is an opportunity to join one of London’s most dynamic and well-resourced real estate teams, operating at the intersection of private wealth, corporate capital, and complex development.
The firm is widely recognised for its strength in high-value, multi-jurisdictional work and is particularly well known as a top-tier disputes powerhouse, giving its real estate lawyers access to complex, often contentious-led transactional work that goes beyond standard deal flow. The wider real estate group is large, full-service, and highly ranked across the legal directories, with strong integration across finance, construction, planning, and tax.
