Projects & Real Estate
We have a rare and highly sought after opportunity for an ambitious junior lawyer to join our market leading National Real Estate practice.
About the role
In this role you will be working with a market leading team in a role offering genuine opportunities for growth and progression.
The team specialises in servicing private equity real estate clients, and the role will see you working with leading global and domestic private equity sponsors, managers and investors on fast paced, varied, challenging and complex transactional work across the whole of the capital structure.
The lawyers in the team are closely aligned in terms of their professional and personal aspirations and ambitions, and it follows that the team has a strong collective focus on self-development (both professional and personal), and an ethos of supporting individuals within the team to achieve those professional and personal ambitions.
About You
You will have gained previous experience in private equity, funds, financing or commercial real estate within a first-tier or other high profile practice, ideally with exposure to the financing of investment into commercial real estate assets. You will have a strong desire to develop an understanding of financing (including capital raising and partnering) and investment structures used in the real estate sector. You may be someone who has a passion for merger and acquisition and funds work, alongside a keen interest in commercial real estate. You may have had some experience in structuring joint ventures, funds establishment, real estate debt and other real estate investment and real estate capital market transactions.
However if you are an ambitious junior lawyer with a passion to learn more about real estate but don't necessarily satisfy the experience criteria you should also get in touch with us.
You will have
First rate written and oral communication skills, the ability to develop strong drafting and legal analysis skills, as well as an ability to get across complex areas of law quickly. But what’s most important to us is that you have a passion for commercial law, serving clients and contributing to a stimulating workplace.
You will be self-aware, positive and have the ability to work well with others; being able to collaborate and work in a team is critical to success at KWM. In this ever changing legal and commercial landscape, you will also thrive in a culture that embraces change.
All of our lawyers, regardless of their level have direct exposure to clients. You will be the centre of information for our clients and transform the experience by truly engaging in and fostering those relationships to deliver relevant, prompt and commercially astute advice. We seek people who build a culture of commitment to achieve the best results for our clients and our team.
