Why This Makes Sense
At 2+ PQE, you have the technical foundation. The question is whether you stay in a firm where property litigation is an afterthought, or move to a team where it is a core discipline with real partner investment.

This role offers the latter. You will get a varied, high quality caseload. You will work alongside experienced partners and senior associates who will develop you.

If you want to build a career in property litigation with a firm that backs its people, this is the move.
