I’m working with a leading international law firm looking to appoint a Practice Development Lawyer (PDL) into their Real Estate team.
Given how candidate-short the PDL market is, the team are open-minded - this could suit an experienced Real Estate lawyer looking to step away from fee earning, or an established PDL ready for a new platform.
✨ The Role
A strategic, high-impact position supporting the wider Real Estate group:
* Advising on technical legal queries
* Leading on legal research and tracking developments
* Producing client briefings and thought leadership
* Delivering training (internal & client-facing)
* Managing and evolving precedents and know-how
* Drafting practice notes
* Supporting innovation and process improvement projects
* Working closely with fee earners to stay aligned with the market
* Identifying and mitigating risk issues
* Managing third-party providers
About You
* England & Wales qualified with strong Real Estate experience
* Existing PDL/PSL experience or a genuine interest in moving into a knowledge role
* Experience contributing to know-how, training or client content
* Commercially aware with a strong understanding of the property market
* Confident collaborating across teams and seniority levels
What’s on Offer
* Join a top-tier international firm
* A visible, strategic role within the team
* High-quality work and exposure
* Supportive, forward-thinking environment
* Competitive package + strong benefits
Why consider this move?
PDL roles like this don’t come up often , especially with this level of quality, visibility and flexibility.
