         <p>At Browne Jacobson, we’ve always worked across business and society, and this expertise sets us apart. Social and environmental impact are at the top of our business agenda. We champion fairness, make the complex simple and forge connections between clients to find creative solutions. This is how we improve outcomes for every person, community and business we serve.</p> 
         <p>With offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Exeter, London, Manchester and Nottingham, we’re a UK &amp; I based law firm with an international reach. Our sectors include: health; real estate and construction; education; energy and infrastructure; financial services; government; insurance; manufacturing and industrials; and retail, consumer and logistics.</p> 
         <p>We nurture talent at all levels and from every background and celebrate what makes people individuals. Law needs all voices to reflect the society it serves and we’re working towards social mobility, diversity and inclusion in our firm - and our profession. We strive to create meaningful personal and professional development opportunities and offer flexible working in support of a good work-life balance. We focus on wellbeing and individuality, so that all our people can thrive.</p> 
         <p>We’re a Disability Confident Employer and will offer an interview to disabled applicants who best meet the minimum/essential criteria for the role. Tick on the application form if you’d like to apply through the Disability Confident Interview Scheme.</p> 
         <p><b>What is the working practice for this role?</b></p> 
         <p>The firm operates a set of core principles that guides our working practice. It’s called ‘One Firm, Wherever You Are’.</p> 
         <p>You might have enjoyed working from home and would like to split your time between there and the office/ other work locations. Others may be eager to return to the office on a more regular basis. We believe that a regular level of in-person contact is an important way to build connections with your colleagues, enhancing knowledge and idea sharing and enabling all of us to benefit from the vibrant office culture Browne Jacobson has to offer.</p> 
         <p>Our expectation is that, <b>on average</b>, you’ll work from home for no more than three days per week, with the remainder of your time either spent with your colleagues in the office or working from other locations as work demands dictate, e.g. courts, client offices, conferences etc. This is an average expectation over time and we know that there will be variations from week to week. Equally, there will be individual circumstances in which a different pattern of work is needed, for example as an agreed reasonable adjustment for colleagues with a disability or long-term medical condition.</p> 
         <p>We believe this approach:</p> 
         <ul>
          <li>fits with our values and personality;</li> 
          <li>will enhance our performance through greater flexibility;</li> 
          <li>advances our ambitions as an inclusive employer – helping you better balance work and family/life commitments;</li> 
          <li>offers opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint (travel, office services etc.), a key ambition underpinning our corporate sustainability plan.</li> 
         </ul> 
         <p><b>Why is this role important and how does it fit into the team, department and wider firm?</b></p> 
         <p>In this role, you'll advise and assist clients in connection with property litigation matters. You'll be working in our wider real estate department and you'll have the ability to work with a broad range of clients, supporting fast paced matters. This role would ideally suit someone with over 2 years’ experience who would like to continue to develop and grow their career in property litigation.</p>
         <br> 
         <p></p> 
         <p>If external support is required on a vacancy, a member of the Browne Jacobson recruitment team will release the role to one of our agency partners. We ask that recruitment agencies do not send CVs unless instructed on the role. Please note that any speculative CVs submitted via agencies without invitation will not be considered as represented by the agency.</p>

         <p>At Browne Jacobson, we’ve always worked across business and society, and this expertise sets us apart. Social and environmental impact are at the top of our business agenda. We champion fairness, make the complex simple and forge connections between clients to find creative solutions. This is how we improve outcomes for every person, community and business we serve.</p> 
         <p>With offices in Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Exeter, London, Manchester and Nottingham, we’re a UK &amp; I based law firm with an international reach. Our sectors include: health; real estate and construction; education; energy and infrastructure; financial services; government; insurance; manufacturing and industrials; and retail, consumer and logistics.</p> 
         <p>We nurture talent at all levels and from every background and celebrate what makes people individuals. Law needs all voices to reflect the society it serves and we’re working towards social mobility, diversity and inclusion in our firm - and our profession. We strive to create meaningful personal and professional development opportunities and offer flexible working in support of a good work-life balance. We focus on wellbeing and individuality, so that all our people can thrive.</p> 
         <p>We’re a Disability Confident Employer and will offer an interview to disabled applicants who best meet the minimum/essential criteria for the role. Tick on the application form if you’d like to apply through the Disability Confident Interview Scheme.</p> 
         <p><b>What is the working practice for this role?</b></p> 
         <p>The firm operates a set of core principles that guides our working practice. It’s called ‘One Firm, Wherever You Are’.</p> 
         <p>You might have enjoyed working from home and would like to split your time between there and the office/ other work locations. Others may be eager to return to the office on a more regular basis. We believe that a regular level of in-person contact is an important way to build connections with your colleagues, enhancing knowledge and idea sharing and enabling all of us to benefit from the vibrant office culture Browne Jacobson has to offer.</p> 
         <p>Our expectation is that, <b>on average</b>, you’ll work from home for no more than three days per week, with the remainder of your time either spent with your colleagues in the office or working from other locations as work demands dictate, e.g. courts, client offices, conferences etc. This is an average expectation over time and we know that there will be variations from week to week. Equally, there will be individual circumstances in which a different pattern of work is needed, for example as an agreed reasonable adjustment for colleagues with a disability or long-term medical condition.</p> 
         <p>We believe this approach:</p> 
         <ul>
          <li>fits with our values and personality;</li> 
          <li>will enhance our performance through greater flexibility;</li> 
          <li>advances our ambitions as an inclusive employer – helping you better balance work and family/life commitments;</li> 
          <li>offers opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint (travel, office services etc.), a key ambition underpinning our corporate sustainability plan.</li> 
         </ul> 
         <p><b>Why is this role important and how does it fit into the team, department and wider firm?</b></p> 
         <p>In the role, you'll provide commercial property support to our busy property department. You'll be working in our expanding property department with a mixture of high profile clients from the education sector. Primarily, you'll be dealing with the property aspects of schools’ conversion to Academy status, Academy mergers and reorganisations, and general property work in the education sector.</p>
