This is an exciting opportunity for an individual at the early stages of their career to develop high-quality technical skills within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The department covers the full range of commercial property work and has particular specialisms in acting for a number of chalet site operators, and also for several local independent free houses and breweries.

• Building and maintaining effective client relationships, delivering a high standard of client care.
• Managing your workload effectively to meet deadlines and financial targets.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the firm to support cross-referrals and client service.
• Ensuring compliance with regulatory and risk management procedures.
