Background
An opportunity has arisen for an NQ Solicitor to join our Tier 1 ranked Housing Management team, part of the Dispute Resolution department.
The team is ranked by both Chambers and Legal 500 directories as one of the premier litigation departments in Wales and beyond. The department provides legal advice to clients across a wide spectrum of commercial, property and housing disputes.
The role

Their advice covers all aspects of tenancy enforcement arising out of nuisance behaviour, criminal activity or anti-social behaviour and other issues to include defending disrepair claims, homelessness, and navigating the changes The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 has brought.
The role will include a wide range of tasks and responsibilities including producing court documents, attending hearings, negotiating with other parties, advising clients, and supervision of Paralegals within the team.
Skills & Qualifications
The successful candidate will have strong organisational skills as well as the ability to work within tight deadlines. The team work very closely with clients and are often referred to as an extension of their teams, so excellent client care skills are a must.
The role would be suited to a lawyer with advocacy and/or litigation experience and be a qualified solicitor or barrister.
Any litigation background would be considered, and the role may suit criminal or personal injury lawyers looking for a change of direction.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive, ambitious and innovative team and would suit an individual who is keen to display their technical and practical legal skills. It would ideally suit someone who is looking to specialise in a niche area with clear progression opportunities.
