We are seeking to recruit a solicitor into our private client property group. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious solicitor to further the development of a highly regarded and dynamic group. The group Our role is to advise our clients on all aspects of residential property transactions. This includes everything from the purchase and refurbishment of prime central London houses, the buying of premium apartments off plan and the forward purchase of bespoke luxury houses to the extension and restoration of country estates. The value, complexity and timelines of these projects require sophisticated advice, which we tailor to the specific needs of our clients. We don't typically advise on property transactions in isolation. Building long-term relationships with our clients enables us to offer a co-ordinated approach to both their property investments and personal affairs. We often therefore advise on issues such as owning a multi-purpose portfolio, the impact on multi-generational succession planning and the personal tax and immigration considerations for non-UK residents or non-domiciliaries living in the UK. We draw on expertise from across our firm to provide market-leading advice on planning, construction, employment, tax or contentious matters and liaise with our clients' other advisers. Our residential property clients are predominantly business people, whether international investors, entrepreneurs, family businesses or landed estates, all of whom expect us to be responsive and commercial. Increasingly they require advice on non-residential issues, for example, buying an apartment building with retail space, or the acquisition of a corporate holding vehicle. When making substantial real estate investments, confidence in the advice given is paramount. Particularly for those diversifying their portfolio, or international investors who are new to the UK, we are uniquely placed to guide clients through the peculiarities of investing in UK property. Our deep-rooted knowledge and experience means that we can swiftly identify legal and commercial risks and suggest practical and commercially driven solutions. The role Duties will involve: working with other members of the practice on a wide range of residential property matters involving prime Central London houses and apartments and country estates. Solicitors undertake the day to day management of files from file opening to billing, but always with individual supervision, support and involvement by partners and senior members of the team; freehold and leasehold conveyancing work for high net worth individuals, family offices and property funds; mortgage advice for buying and re-financing properties, advising banks, borrowers, guarantors and occupiers; leasehold enfranchisement advice including lease extensions, collective enfranchisement and tenant rights of first refusal; and advising on landlord and tenant law (short-term and long term leasehold interests). Education and training: participating in the departmental and firm-wide Education and Training programme; and contributing to the development of the Firm's know how. Practice development: assisting with and helping to present/promote internal and external seminars to clients and contacts: and participating in practice development initiatives. This job description encompasses the main duties of the role and is by no means exhaustive. It is anticipated that duties may vary from time to time according to the needs of the practice area. The candidate We want to add only lawyers of the highest quality to our team. They need to have strong academics and be confident, willing to take on responsibility (as client contact is encouraged) and wish to further their expertise and career through a combination of formal training and education, partner and peer support and working for clients. The candidate needs a strong instinct for the high levels of client service expected by our clients. The right candidate will possess good post-qualification experience in UK domestic work. They need to be technically able, with an easy familiarity with relevant residential property law commensurate with their experience and will be a proactive and resilient problem solver. We offer excellent prospects, rewards and a real opportunity for the right individuals to work for quality clients on rewarding transactions. We have a proven reputation for producing strong lawyers who feel part of a cohesive, friendly and supportive team, and whose efforts are appreciated and well rewarded by the Firm. We strive to provide our solicitors with long-term careers and have a career development programme in place which is designed to support each of our solicitors' aspirations, enabling them to enhance their legal and commercial skills, and to reach their full potential.

Our market leading investment management group is seeking to recruit an associate to join its hugely successful team. As part of this growth, we are seeking to expand our private equity, private debt, hedge fund and real estate practice by recruiting an associate with 1 to 4 years' PQE. The team Our investment management practice currently comprises of 5 partners, 15 associates, 4 trainees, 1 PSL and 7 paralegals. We are one of the broadest based investment management practices in London. Our work covers the entire spectrum of investment management work from private equity, private debt, venture capital, infrastructure, real estate and hedge funds through to regulated funds (including UCITS). Our major areas of focus at the moment are on private equity managers, private debt, institutional asset managers and VC managers. We are also doing a lot of interesting work on hybrid funds (blending closed-ended funds with open-ended funds) and for alternatives managers looking to attract capital from DC pension funds and the mass-affluent. The team advises fund managers, other service providers and investors on a range of matters relating to their work and ongoing strategic issues. Many of our clients' projects bring together a number of disciplines; we frequently draw on the expertise of our tax colleagues, as well as derivatives and trading, corporate, and regulatory lawyers to provide a seamless service, however complex the work. International issues are commonplace in what we do. Whether we are advising in relation to the formation of a fund or seed deal arrangements, our independent status ensures that we are able to instruct the very best local counsel. As a result, clients benefit from the highest quality advice suited to their needs and the specific matter in hand. Our client base We act for many of the leading institutional asset managers across private equity, private debt, real estate and other alternative asset classes and advise on all aspects of their business. Some of our key clients include; Hayfin Capital Management, Legal & General, Aberdeen Standard, Alcentra, Old Mutual, Alchemy and 17Capital. Unlike many of our competitors, our advice does not end with the launch of the fund. We develop long-term relationships advising on corporate, regulatory and trading matters on a daily basis. Our people really get under the skin of our clients, allowing our associates to build longer-term fulfilling relationships and develop their softer skills. Recent transactions; Hayfin Capital Management LLP on its European direct lending strategy, gathering €3.5bn, and on its special opportunities strategy, which attracted total commitments of €2.2bn; Alcentra on the fundraising of its third European direct lending fund which closed at €5.5bn. We also advised Alcentra on its latest special opportunities fund; and Muzinich & Co in relation to various European-focused credit funds, including its pan-European Private Debt Fund, raising over €700m; and it's first ELTIF which closed at more than €140m The candidate The successful candidate will have excellent academic credentials, high quality legal experience, energy and enthusiasm. They will have worked in a leading institutional investment management practice or in-house at an alternative asset manager. We are looking for a solicitor who will enjoy working in a cohesive team and are keen to support the firm's goal of providing outstanding client service. We are committed to providing first class training and support to all our lawyers. We expect all our associates to work closely with clients and assume real responsibility. As our matters often have a cross-border element, we anticipate that our associates will frequently liaise with specialists in overseas jurisdictions. Why choose Macfarlanes We believe Macfarlanes offers a genuine alternative to the US and Magic Circle firms, with real opportunity for ambitious lawyers to develop and work for quality clients on difficult and rewarding transactions. Our Investment Management group has a proven reputation for producing strong lawyers who feel part of a cohesive, friendly and supportive team, and whose efforts are appreciated and rewarded by the firm. Breadth of work We encourage our associates to cover all areas of the group's practice - no solicitor just works for one partner. Teams are partner led and lawyers are not left in the lurch to fend for themselves. That said, we want to stretch our associates and they are given as much 'rope' as they can handle. We staff projects with lean teams so all team members get real involvement in a project. Education and training We strive to provide our solicitors with long-term careers and have a career development programme in place which is designed to support each of our solicitors' aspirations, enabling them to enhance their legal and commercial skills, and to reach their full potential. We believe our Education and Training programme is second to none. But we also provide significant wider training on development, such as presentation skills, building a network, managing time efficiently and operating as a modern day lawyer. Prospects We expect the candidate will be concerned to know about partnership prospects. These are very real. In recent years we have made up three partners and aim to grow the team organically over the next few years. We will consider candidates with partnership aspirations, as well as those looking for a long-term career at a senior level but without the responsibilities of partnership. We have a genuine desire to recognise work life balance for our associates. We are committed to providing flexible working opportunities tailored to individuals' needs and we offer a variety of long term career options. Our commitment to inclusion At Macfarlanes we understand the importance of an inclusive culture, the continued development of which has been identified as one of our key priorities. Our focus is to foster an inclusive culture throughout the firm, from entry level to partnership. It is about recruiting, retaining and promoting all groups in the firm fairly, and we are continually reviewing our processes to ensure that everyone has the same chance to develop and advance. An inclusive, forward-thinking culture also enables us to provide innovative solutions to our clients.
