Litigation Professional Support Lawyer – Real Estate Disputes / Construction / Regulatory – Birmingham or Manchester / Flexible

A leading UK firm is seeking a contentious PSL with Building Safety Act experience to play a central role in its multidisciplinary practice. Working across Real Estate Dispute Resolution, Construction and Regulatory teams, you will coordinate know-how, drive effective information sharing and keep fee earners aligned with fast-moving legal and regulatory developments. The role includes producing high-quality client insight, supporting service delivery, and contributing to thought leadership on issues such as cladding remediation, recovery actions and regulatory compliance, alongside broader exposure to real estate disputes including telecoms matters.

The team advises on complex and high-profile building safety issues affecting developers, landlords and leaseholders, combining legal and technical expertise to deliver practical, commercially focused solutions. Work spans Building Safety Fund matters, portfolio reviews, fire safety compliance and risk management, as well as the full spectrum of real estate disputes including landlord and tenant, rights of light, nuisance, boundary issues and property-related insolvency. You will also work closely with construction specialists on technical defects, develop precedents, and help embed the use of innovative tools including generative AI.

Candidates should have a strong contentious background with relevant exposure to building safety, real estate disputes or construction disputes, alongside a clear interest in knowledge management and thought leadership. Excellent drafting and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to translate complex developments into accessible and commercially useful insight. The role offers genuine flexibility, including part-time options, and would suit an experienced PSL, a fee-earner looking to transition, or a returner seeking a more flexible working pattern.
