Experienced Solicitor/CILEx/Paralegal

We are now actively looking to recruit candidates with Property Litigation experience, from 4 years’ PQE Solicitors/CILEx or similarly experienced, non-qualified individuals to work within our experienced and expanding team.

The firm are offering the opportunity for the suitable candidate to work fully or partially remote, with all of the benefits of home working, but with the ability to also work from our modern offices in East Sussex should you wish or need to, from time to time.

This is a full-time, permanent role which offers a competitive salary, generous pension, bonus scheme and excellent opportunities.

• You must be experienced working within a litigation team with a particular focus on Residential Property Litigation, and have managed your own caseload of that type of work
