We are seeking a Major Projects Lawyer to join our friendly, supportive and dynamic Legal team supporting Stratford on Avon and Warwick District Councils. We have offices in the centre of historic Stratford upon Avon and embrace flexible, agile working arrangements including home working.

The successful candidate will undertake the legal work required in connection with large scale land transactions and major redevelopment/regeneration projects promoted by the two Councils. This may include land appropriation, compulsory purchase order management, restrictive covenants review, licences, advising the Councils as master developer, leasehold/freehold acquisitions and disposals, bye-law considerations and advice regarding deal structure, joint ventures and company law. The Councils are involved in a diverse range of major projects, from the redevelopment of the Gateway site in Stratford upon Avon to plans for a new community football stadium in Leamington Spa.

We welcome applications from experienced major projects lawyers ready to hit the ground running with this work and without daily supervision – this is not a development role. We seek applications from enthusiastic and adaptable people who are motivated to use their research and analytical 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.

For a confidential discussion about this role, please contact Ross Chambers, Legal Services Manager, on 01789 260471 email ross.chambers@stratford-dc.gov.uk
