Group Legal Counsel
Canary Wharf 
Founded in 1982 and still privately-owned, Ballymore is an award-winning commercial and residential property developer. Acknowledged as the pioneers behind some of the UK’s largest regeneration projects, our development vision is creative, carefully executed and broad in scope. While London focused with 7,000 homes under construction, Ballymore also has developments in Birmingham, Manchester and a large presence in Ireland. 
Due to retirement, we are now looking to appoint a new Group Legal Counsel to be based at our London headquarters in Canary Wharf.  In this well-respected role, you will be a key member of the senior management team with full responsibility for the legal function.  Reporting to the Group Managing Director, you will lead a small legal team whilst also managing relations with our external legal advisers.
In addition to advising on the legal aspects of complex, high-profile property development projects which often involve joint venture, tax and funding issues, you will also be expected to take the lead on providing legal advice in areas such as construction, planning and the general corporate and commercial matters affecting the day to day running of the business.
To succeed in this broad and challenging role, you are likely to have at least 10 years’ PQE* in property development, some of which will ideally have been gained in-house. Working with colleagues across the entire spectrum of the business, we are looking for a resourceful, confident lawyer who is both technically strong and commercially-minded with a distinctly pragmatic approach to problem solving.
In return, as well as an attractive salary and bonus, we are offering you the opportunity to be an integral part of the management team of a highly successful business which leads the way in its sector.
* The PQE indicated is intended as a guide only and does not preclude applications from those with more or less PQE.
