Shape a legal career that reflects your passion for the countryside, rural communities and the land itself! Opportunities are available within agricultural property and succession planning for lawyers who want work that feels meaningful and connected to the lives of farming families and estate owners across East Anglia. This is a chance to join a well-regarded, Lexcel-accredited practice with a strong reputation for quality and who support the long-term future of farms and rural estates.
Previous experience in agricultural law is not essential. If you're curious about how farms and estates operate, enjoy spending time in the countryside or have rural interests or backgrounds, you'll feel at home in this work. Many clients value advisers who genuinely understand what matters to them, whether that comes from family connections, personal interests or a desire to learn more about rural life and land ownership.
You might be at the beginning of your career, looking to develop a niche specialism or an experienced lawyer seeking a change in direction that aligns more closely with your personal interests. What matters most is enthusiasm and a genuine interest in farmland, estates and succession planning.
You'll be supported with structured learning and development programmes to help you grow confidently in this niche, alongside a comprehensive benefits package, including a pension scheme, life assurance, health insurance and a strong focus on health and wellbeing. Hybrid working is available once you're established, combining flexibility with the opportunity to stay visible and engaged within the rural community. In-person networking, often beyond standard office hours, remains a key and rewarding part of the role.
This is an opportunity to build a rewarding career where professional expertise and personal passion come together, with the flexibility, support and benefits to help you thrive long term.
