A fantastic opportunity for a real estate finance lawyer looking for a varied portfolio of work without any compromise on quality. Here at VWV you can finally have your cake and eat it!..

We're now looking to bolster our small and cohesive London based team with a positive and engaging lawyer, most likely at the relatively early stages of their post qualified career. We will of course consider candidates outside of this level.

The role

This role is the opportunity to work exclusively in the real estate finance team in London.

Working in a small team led by our Partner, Leila Inman, you'll relish the variety of work for lenders, and the collaborative and supportive environment, working in a team of four dedicated property finance lawyers, with additional resource from our Watford office. This gives you excellent visibility in the firm and a chance to really shine.

If you're looking for a role with variety, then this could be just the job. There's a lovely mixture of work, acting largely for lenders in relation to residential and commercial properties for acquisition, development and refinance.  Whilst we don't expect you to have extensive knowledge of all areas, you'll ideally be familiar with banking and security documentation and the requisite due diligence work in these transactions.

About us

We're a Top 100 full-service UK law firm with just over 500 employees. With four offices in London, Bristol, Birmingham, and Watford, you'll be struck by our close-knit and friendly culture. We believe in integrity and authenticity- in each one of us being ourselves both in our interactions with each other as well as with our clients. What does that mean for you? Well, it means you'll be part of a team, a department and a wider firm that doesn't do airs and graces or arrogance… you'll be part of the VWV family.

We enjoy a reputation not just for excellence but also for being a firm of "thoroughly good eggs" - a winning combination that ensures a working day here at VWV is based on honesty, collaboration and warmth.

Where will I be working? 

At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Whilst we work to a hybrid model of office and home working, we'd like you to work from our office for at least part of the week.   In this way, you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture that no advert can do justice! We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.

Why choose us?

There are so many reasons to stop and explore us further.  We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration is key. There's no pigeon-holing or glass ceilings here, just a professional yet relaxed culture where you can finally be yourself.  We invite you to watch this short video on the right hand side to see what our own people have to say about us.

Not sure whether to apply?

Whilst we're renowned for our transparent and welcoming culture, we know that making the next career move can be daunting. We've all been there!  It's more than likely you'll have one or two questions on the role or firm before you feel happy to apply. If so, please contact me, Jannica Seccombe, Lawyer Resourcing Lead, in complete confidence on 07500 109783 or jseccombe@vwv.co.uk and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Here at VWV, we are passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this vacancy please call our recruiter as we're happy to make the necessary adjustments and allowances.
