Senior Associate / Legal Director – Landed Estates & Rural Property | London

Lex Exec is working with one of London’s best-known private client firms to recruit an experienced rural property lawyer into its highly regarded Landed Estates & Agriculture practice.

This is a genuinely specialist role advising landowners, farming families and the owners of significant landed estates across the UK.

The work is an excellent mix of transactional and ongoing estate advisory matters, including:

• Sales and purchases of farms, estates and country houses

• Agricultural tenancies and estate management

• Easements and complex land rights

• Succession and generational change

• Farming business reorganisations

• Renewable energy and mineral leases

• Natural capital and carbon projects

The team acts for the owners of more than 50 landed estates and country houses, ranging from around 150 to 12,000 acres, and works closely with leading Private Client and Tax lawyers on the wider issues affecting landed families.

This would particularly suit an experienced rural property lawyer who enjoys the traditional landed estates practice but also wants exposure to the increasingly important areas of energy, diversification and natural capital.

You will have significant autonomy, client contact and responsibility for supervising junior lawyers, alongside the opportunity to help develop the practice.

There is a clearly defined route through Legal Director and towards Partnership for the right individual.
