Description
"They are engaged, enthusiastic, and always personable."
- Chambers and Partners
We have a fantastic opportunity for an Associate or Senior Associate
lawyer to join the Real Estate team in our Bristol office. In this
role you will have the opportunity to work on varied, high quality
work for top clients with a particular focus on land and development work.
The practice
Osborne Clarke LLP have an outstanding reputation in Real Estate due
to the quality and breadth of our client base and the value and
complexity of the work we undertake. We have made a long-term
investment in our Real Estate practice both in the UK and
internationally, offering extensive expertise in residential-led
development, regeneration, RE investment, RE funds, logistics, student
accommodation, commercial development, telecommunication, utilities
& energy and retail.
Developers rely on our strong expertise to see their developments
through from concept to completion. We provide comprehensive advice
across the entire project lifecycle and our team operate across areas
from strategic land projects and immediate acquisitions through to
affordable housing, build to rent / PRS sales, site set up, management
structures and infrastructure agreements to name a few.
The practice is supplemented by strong Real Estate litigation,
Construction, Planning, Tax and Plots / site set up departments and by
OC Solutions, our award winning in-house legal innovations and
technology team - all of which form part of our powerhouse development practice.
Our clients
Our practice centres on Living and Regeneration and we act for
numerous market-leading developer and promoter clients (both PLC and
SME businesses) on a national, multi service line panel basis. Our
list of clients is impressive and includes - Barratt, Vistry, Crest,
Taylor Wimpey, St Modwen, Places for People, Welbeck, Ptarmigan,
Wates, Sovereign, Bloor, U&I, GLP, DTZ, Patrizia, Mirastar,
M&G, Canary Wharf Group, Vodafone, PGIM, British Land and
Greystar, to name a few.
The team
The Real Estate team is made up of over 80 lawyers, plus 21 Partners
in the UK. The team works collaboratively in client teams across our
UK offices and the Bristol team comprises a large number of partners
and experienced lawyers, running some of our largest client
relationships. Michelle McGurl (Partner) leads the development team
and is the UK Practice Group Head for Projects, Real Estate and Finance.
Technical skills and experience
Due to the growth of the business and practice we are looking to
appoint an Associate or Senior Associate to deal with a broad range of
development matters as part of our market-leading team.
Experience of dealing with residential-led development work and
strategic land projects (options, promotion agreements) is desirable,
although not essential and we are willing to consider candidates with
more or less experience.
Your career development
Like all our lawyers, you will benefit from our multi-award winning
career development programme. At each stage of your career this
provides you with:
clear expectations of your role and what it takes to progress high
quality clients and work, with early responsibility and client exposure
thorough assessment and individual feedback from a range of
experienced colleagues
robust technical training with early skills based development,
increasingly tailored to you
reward for your contribution, progression and potential, rather
than PQE or tenure
Salary and benefits
We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits.

policies and will accommodate flexible working where we can. We value
the health and wellbeing of our people: for example, we're signatories

Being an inclusive employer is important to us. We have made a number
of external commitments such as the Race Fairness Commitment and Women
in Law Pledge, and are working with organisations like Stonewall to
become a more inclusive employer.

paying everybody in our business enough to live on and to enable them
to save for the future.
