We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate planning lawyer to join our friendly, supportive and ambitious team

Freeths LLP Planning and Environment Group is a truly multi-disciplinary team of 42 professionals comprising planning lawyers, environmental lawyers, advocates and planning consultants operating across all development sectors. The Group is recognised for its depth of knowledge, breadth of experience and for providing clear, pragmatic and commercial advice and support in navigating the planning process – from the inception of a proposal through to delivery – in order to secure the optimal outcome for our fantastic clients.

Identified in the Planning Law Survey as one of the fastest growing planning teams over two consecutive years and ranked as 10th largest in the country we wish to recruit a Planning Solicitor to work ideally in our Leeds office (all offices considered) (ideally 3-8 years PQE) to support growth across the wider group which operates nationally. The team offers a supportive and flexible working environment with exciting work opportunities across many development sectors.

The Role

This position has arisen due to growth. Instructions are on the increase and so we are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate planning lawyer to join our friendly, supportive and ambitious team ideally in Leeds, but other offices will be considered.

The ideal candidate will have experience of Section 106 agreements, highways and other statutory agreements, advising on planning, highways and associated law, due diligence for property and corporate transactions and contentious planning work, such as Planning Inquiries/hearings and Court challenges/Judicial Reviews. Experience in DCOs and on large regeneration schemes would be particularly desirable.
