Real Estate Solicitor | 4+ PQE | Manchester A premium Manchester real estate practice is looking for a 4+ PQE solicitor with the technical depth and commercial judgement to handle institutional-grade work from day one. This is not a volume role. The caseload is complex, high-value, and client-led, the kind of work that typically keeps lawyers in London for another five years. The firm has built a genuine alternative: City-quality real estate transactions, Manchester cost base, and a platform that supports long-term career progression without the bottlenecks of a larger machine. The Work The portfolio spans investment acquisitions and disposals, infrastructure work, asset management and portfolio restructuring. Clients include institutional investors, listed funds, national developers, banks and high-net-worth family offices. At 4+ PQE, you will be running your own transactions with partner oversight where needed, not waiting for instructions. That means leading complex due diligence, structuring deals, drafting and negotiating conditional contracts, overage and funding agreements, and advising on title, planning and construction interfaces. The Platform The firm is well-established in Manchester with a truly premium brand presence. The real estate team is consistently ranked, with a reputation for technical excellence and commercial pragmatism. Referrals come from top-tier corporate, banking and private wealth teams internally, as well as a loyal base of institutional repeat clients. Progression is transparent and achievable. The partners want to hire someone who can credibly step towards senior associate and partnership in the coming years. Why This Makes Sense At 4+ PQE, you have the technical foundation. The question is whether you stay in a role where you are doing the same mid-market deals on repeat, or step into a premium practice that accelerates your development and market profile. This role offers the latter. The work is sophisticated, the brand opens doors, and the Manchester location means you keep a quality of life that London firms cannot match.
