You will work alongside a team of nine experts, some of whom hold several important ecclesiastical appointments, to serve clients within the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church.

You’ll gain newfound knowledge and exposure throughout your career at this people-centric firm, utilising the expertise you’ve gained thus far to research and interpret historical legislation to strategise solutions for the future.

For this Commercial Property Solicitor role, you will ideally:

• Have 1 to 4 years of post-qualification experience as a property lawyer
• Have an interest in legal research, as this role requires interpretation of historical law

If you’re interested in this role but are unsure if you’re the right fit, let us know.

This team recognises that this area of the law is uncommon and is prepared to offer extensive training on the rules surrounding the law and the church. However, it is desirable that you have a vocational interest in faith and/or religion due to the nature of the role and its client base.

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding reasonable adjustments or accommodations.
