Stratford on Avon and Warwick District Councils have joined forces to create a shared Legal Team for South Warwickshire, providing a full range of legal services to both authorities.

We have a vacancy for a Lawyer in our Property Team which covers a wide range of commercial property-related work, such as lease renewals, licences, acquisitions and disposals and development agreements.  There is also an opportunity to undertake some residential property transactions, including shared ownership and affordable housing transactions.

It is an exciting time to join an expanding legal team that is friendly and supportive with a strong team ethic. We support two progressive, ambitious local authorities involved in a range of exciting projects in a great part of the country. You will be directly involved in varied and high-quality legal work and make a positive difference to our communities.

We seek applications from enthusiastic and adaptable people who are motivated to use their research, analytical and communication skills to provide practical, solution-focussed legal advice to our internal clients.

Local government experience is desirable, but we welcome applications from people from all parts of the legal sector. We will accept applications from qualified solicitors, barristers and Fellows of the Institute of Legal Executives.

We have offices in the centre of historic and vibrant Stratford upon Avon and Warwick. We also embrace flexible, agile working arrangements including home working.
