We are currently recruiting for an Associate to join our Real Estate team in London!
About Withersworldwide:
Withersworldwide has been acting for successful individuals, businesses and institutions for 125 years. We advise clients on their business, personal and philanthropic needs both at home and abroad. In this fast moving and increasingly regulated world the need for integrated and timely advice has never been more urgent.
We are recognised as the leading international law firm for successful people. With offices in Europe, Asia, the United States and the Caribbean we provide coverage across the world that other law firms focussed on the individual cannot. We have represented 70% of the Top-100 ‘Sunday Times Rich List’, as well as a significant number of people listed in the US (Forbes) and Asian (Hurun) Rich Lists.

Our construction practice has a non-contentious focus, principally advising developers, charities and other not-for-profit organisations, high net worth individuals, hotel groups, institutional investors and major international retailers.

In addition to providing procurement advice and project documentation, we work closely with the wider real estate department and our corporate colleagues on transactional matters. We also provide a number of our clients with project support services, including pre-dispute, ADR and settlement advice.
