Haggerty Jaques is delighted to be working with one of the most impressive law firms in the UK to recruit a Senior Associate for their highly regarded national Real Estate team.

You can expect to advise on:

Land acquisitions, including options and conditional contracts Investment acquisitions and disposals for both buyers and sellers

The Clients

You will work with an enviable roster of clients, including Oxbridge colleges, developers, corporate occupiers with multi-site holdings, institutional investors, family trusts, private offices, and global investment funds. The nature of the work encourages building long-term relationships with clients and their professional advisers.

Why Leeds?

Leeds is one of the UK’s most exciting legal hubs, offering top-tier work without the London commute. You’ll enjoy a thriving city centre, green spaces on your doorstep, and a cost of living that means your salary goes further. Whether you’re moving from another region or already based in Yorkshire, this role gives you the best of both worlds – high-profile work, in a city that’s buzzing with opportunity.
