Associate - Planning (Commercial Property)

Nockolds Solicitors are a leading Legal 500 and Chambers Law Firm with offices in London, Bishop’s Stortford, and Spain. We are in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For and have been accredited with Investors in People Gold since 2012. Due to our continued expansion, we are now looking to recruit a Planning Associate for either our Bishop’s Stortford or London office, with a good technical background, commercial awareness, and between 3 - 5 year’s PQE.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing Commercial Property Team who are friendly, energetic, and dynamic and committed to achieving excellence. We act for land promoters, developers (including small, medium, and large regional housebuilders) and property investors requiring planning advice on strategic acquisitions, statutory agreements, and the planning aspects of property due diligence, and you would work as an integral part of the Commercial Property Team.

There are excellent career development opportunities for the right candidate along with the opportunity to be involved in business development and the marketing of the team. We run our own training Academy which is supported by a dedicated Learning and Development Manager, Mentoring Scheme, and a clear career structure. We actively encourage all members of the Nockolds Team to be involved in local communities and with a wide-ranging programme of social and charitable events organised throughout the year.

You will have a general planning law background and be commercially aware, have good client care skills, an eye for detail and knowledge of document and case management systems. You will be expected to run your own caseload but also be an interactive team member.

Benefits include a competitive salary, 25 days holiday, Contributory Pension Scheme, Life Assurance, private health cover, a discretionary annual bonus and hybrid working.
