Senior Residential Property Solicitor

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Residential Property Solicitor to join a highly regarded law firm in Eastbourne. This well-established firm is looking for an experienced individual to take on a pivotal role within their thriving property department, stepping in as the ‘Number 2’ to support the Partner in overseeing the team.
