The role

Are you a Real Estate Finance lawyer ready to take the next step in your career, advising banks and our third sector clients on complex commercial property finance transactions?

As a Senior Associate within our Third Sector Property Team, you will manage a varied caseload of real estate finance matters, acting principally for banks and lenders, whilst also advising our third sector borrower clients, including charities, social businesses and other community and social purpose organisations.

You will advise on commercial property and real estate finance transactions, acting for both lenders and borrowers, with a particular focus on lending transactions involving third sector organisations. You will work on high-quality, impactful matters within a supportive team, including the preparation of Certificates of Title and lender-focused property due diligence exercises.

While experience of working with charities, social enterprises or other third sector organisations would be welcomed, we are equally keen to hear from candidates with strong lender-side real estate finance experience who are interested in developing expertise in this sector.

Manage a varied commercial property and real estate finance caseload.
Act on transactions for both lender clients and third sector borrowers, providing a balanced perspective across the financing process.
Build and maintain strong client relationships.
