Legal Director / Partner – Strategic Land & Rural Development | Oxford
Significant land transactions. Long-term client relationships. Scope to help shape a specialist practice.
Lex Exec is supporting a leading law firm with the appointment of a Legal Director or Partner to its established Oxford practice.
Driven by growing client demand, this opportunity combines substantial strategic land work with responsibility for client relationships and the continued development of the practice.
The team advises landed estates, institutional landowners, farming businesses and private clients on matters including:
Significant development land sales, overage and infrastructure obligations
Option, promotion and hybrid agreements
Multi-landowner collaboration and equalisation arrangements
Land assembly, phased disposals and complex title issues
Long-term strategies for bringing land forward for residential and mixed-use development
You will work closely with colleagues across property, planning, tax and private client disciplines, helping clients protect their interests and realise the long-term value of their land.
Who would this suit?
An established Legal Director or Partner, or an experienced Senior Associate ready to step into a broader role.
You will bring strong strategic land or rural development experience, commercial judgment and the confidence to lead complex transactions and develop trusted client relationships.
Approximately 8+ PQE is a guide, with flexibility around relevant expertise and capability.
Oxford-based | Working arrangements open to discussion | Remuneration reflecting experience and appointment level
An informal exploratory conversation can be arranged before a formal recruitment process.
