My client is seeking a solicitor to join its Planning Unit, which gives clients access to all aspects of the planning and compulsory law regime. The post could include support to the firm's Local Government Team on local government law if the applicant is suitably experienced and enthusiastic.
They have excellent contacts with planning consultants and other expert assistance which may be required and have particular strengths in regeneration, mixed use, renewable energy, nuclear, minerals and waste, telecoms, housing, compulsory purchase and planning advocacy. Members of the Planning Unit write and lecture extensively on a range of topics. Members of the team are Legal Associates of the Royal Town and Country Planning Institute and members of the Law Society's Planning Panel of recommended experts. Three members of the team are qualified High Court advocates.

- Advising on city centre redevelopment projects in Truro and West Bromwich

The successful candidate will enjoy a varied workload and have the opportunity to do their own advocacy.
