Planning - 3+ yrs' pqe

“First choice every time” - Legal 500 2006

When you think of Berwin Leighton Paisner, you think of real estate, and is it any wonder when our Real estate team is regarded as the leading practice in the country delivering a service second to none in terms of both size and breadth of expertise.

With 25 lawyers, including eight partners, our planning and environment group is also recognised as the leading practice in the UK. We have occupied the leading position in the major legal directories for more than a decade, and have been rated as the number one law firm planning team for each of the five years of the ‘Planning’ magazine survey. Legal Business awarded us the “Planning and Environment team of the year” for our work on London Bridge Tower (“Shard of Glass”).

We are currently looking for associates to join this market leading team. Your work will include Planning advice and negotiations, inquiry work, agreements and CPOs, brown land and town centre development work, including TWA related work. High levels of responsibility will be available and the successful candidate will quickly run their own caseload with appropriate supervision. Successful candidates must have Planning and Environment experience, ideally within a local authority or utility sector.

Candidates will be selected on the basis of their relevant skills and experience.  Where we have stated a minimum level of qualification, candidates who wish to apply are welcome to do so and will be considered on an equal basis where they can demonstrate equivalent levels of skills and experience.
