SOC 2412 (90% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £51,600, and VWV Law is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
About the role
Here at VWV we have a fantastic opportunity for a real estate finance lawyer, looking for a varied portfolio of work without any compromise on quality.
We're now looking to bolster our small and cohesive London based team with a positive and engaging lawyer, most likely at the relatively early stages of their post qualified career.
The role
This role is the opportunity to work exclusively in the real estate finance team in London.
Working in a small team led by our Partner, Leila Inman, you'll relish the variety of work for lenders, and the collaborative and supportive environment, working in a team of four dedicated property finance lawyers, with additional resource from our Watford office. This gives you excellent visibility in the firm and a chance to really shine.
If you're looking for a role with variety, then this could be just the job. There's a lovely mixture of work, acting largely for lenders in relation to residential and commercial properties for acquisition, development and refinance. Whilst we don't expect you to have extensive knowledge of all areas, you'll ideally be familiar with banking and security documentation and the requisite due diligence work in these transactions.
About Us
We're a Top 100 full-service UK law firm with just over 600 employees. With four offices in London, Bristol, Birmingham, and Watford, you'll be struck by our close-knit and friendly culture. We value authenticity and integrity. Here, you are encouraged to bring your true self to work, whether you are collaborating with teammates or advising clients. That means no corporate pretence or ego, just a collaborative and genuine culture where you truly belong.
We are known for our outstanding work and our exceptionally down-to-earth people. This combination creates a workplace driven by honesty, collaboration, and genuine warmth.
Where will I be working?
At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Whilst we work to a hybrid model of office and home working, we'd like you to work from our office for at least part of the week. In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture that no advert can do justice! We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.
