The Role

We are looking for an associate (0-2 years PQE) to join Russell-Cooke's Charity and Social Business team, providing support exclusively to not-for-profit organisations.

The team of 16 lawyers is one of the leading charity practices, highly rated by both Legal 500 and Chambers.

Our clients include some of the most prominent fundraising charities as well as medium-sized and start-up charities, individual philanthropists and corporate foundations.

The work would be varied and would suit someone with commercial property experience who is enthusiastic about developing new areas of expertise and working within the charity sector.

The role is for a junior solicitor to work on a wide range of commercial property matters for charity and social business clients.

This is an opportunity to take on a broad and varied role which will include freehold and leasehold disposals and acquisitions, portfolio management work, support of corporate transactions such as mergers and incorporations, and advise on technical charity property issues.
