THE ROLE

The firm's national Housing Management team carries out a full range of work for its housing association, local authority and co-operative clients from across the voluntary, public and private sectors.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Housing Management Solicitor to join our team.

The successful candidate will be someone who can work closely with clients, provide first class practical advice and who is technically proficient in housing management work. Prior experience in running a high quality litigation caseload, anti-social behaviour, residential possession claims, civil injunctions and housing disrepair will be highly regarded.
