We are currently seeking a Senior Legal Project Manager to join an esteemed Real Estate Practice Group. This is an exceptional opportunity for either:

- Managing end-to-end transaction delivery for complex real estate mandates
- Supporting client-facing delivery with clear communication, timelines, and progress tracking
- Collaborating across legal and business teams to ensure alignment of resources and priorities
- Leading project scoping, planning, risk management, and reporting
- Contributing to client relationship development through service excellence and continuous improvement
- Supporting fee earners with best practice processes and legal tech adoption
- Experience in legal project management or complex transactional coordination
- Knowledge of the real estate lifecycle, ideally from within a legal context
- Commercial awareness and a proactive, problem-solving mindset
- Exceptional communication skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders
- Confidence with project tools, process frameworks, and reporting metrics
- A genuine interest in delivering outstanding client service
- Line management experience would be valuable
- Progression: For LPMs—this is a step into a more senior role with greater impact and client exposure.
- Career Pivot: For real estate professionals—this is a rare pathway into legal project management without having to start from scratch.
- Firm Culture: This firm is widely recognised for its progressive culture, commitment to wellbeing, and long-term career development.
- Variety & Impact: Join a firm where project management is valued and embedded, with a diverse caseload and direct access to major clients.
