Planning Solicitor (1-5 PQE)

Planning Solicitor | 1-5 PQE | Midlands

I'm currently working with a specialist regional law firm that is looking to appoint a Planning Solicitor as part of the continued growth of its team.

This is a great opportunity for a Planning Solicitor looking to join a well-established, specialist practice with a broad client base and a genuinely collaborative working environment.

The role

You'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of planning matters , advising a varied client base that includes landowners, businesses and developers.

The work is likely to include:

• Planning applications and general planning advice
• Planning appeals
• Enforcement matters
• Planning agreements and obligations
• Section 106 agreements
• Certificates of Lawfulness
• Development-related planning work
• Advising clients on planning strategy and potential development opportunities

The team handles a mixture of contentious and non-contentious planning work , giving you the opportunity to build a broad practice rather than being restricted to one particular area.

The firm

The firm offers something a little different from the traditional larger regional or City firm environment.

You'll be joining a close-knit team where you'll have direct Partner access, strong supervision and genuine scope to develop your career . There is a real emphasis on collaboration and supporting people to progress over the longer term.

The firm also places a strong emphasis on work-life balance , with sensible expectations around chargeable hours and a flexible approach to working.

About you

The firm is open to hearing from Planning Solicitors at various experience levels.

You might currently be working within a dedicated Planning team or have developed planning experience as part of a broader Property, Development or Rural practice.

The key is that you're looking for a role where you can develop your planning expertise, take on good quality work and become part of a supportive team .
