Rural Property Solicitor - 2 PQE

A leading specialist law firm with a strong Yorkshire presence is on the lookout for an Agriculture & Rural Property Solicitor to join its widely respected property team. This is a rare chance to slot into a well-established practice that offers high-quality, fascinating work in a genuinely supportive environment—one where people stick around not because they have to, but because they want to.

The client base is as varied as a British summer: from private individuals and family-run farms to major trusts, charities, and faith-based organisations. The team is known for its technical clout and deep experience, with a reputation for handling complex and interesting matters that keep the brain as busy as the inbox.

Ideally suited to a solicitor with three or more years' PQE, but if you’re confident running your own files and know your way around a property transaction—from sales, purchases, and leases to development projects and secured lending—they’d love to hear from you. There’s also room to shape the role to your interests, especially if you want to dig deeper into the rural and estates world.

But here’s the real headline: this is a firm that actually means it when they talk about work-life balance. Targets are refreshingly sane, the culture is big on trust and small on hierarchy, and flexible, agile working is a genuine option—not just something listed on the website. Throw in private medical cover, enhanced family policies, income protection, and generous holidays, and you’ve got the kind of package that makes other firms look slightly… Victorian.

Most importantly, this is somewhere your voice matters. Whether you want to carve out a niche, take on more responsibility, or simply enjoy high-quality legal work without burning out, this is a rare and rewarding opportunity to do just that.
