Being a property lawyer at Elmbridge is more than providing legal advice on property matters, it’s more than conveyancing and contracts.

Our Centres for the Community provide Jane with a hot lunch and the chance to meet friends - her only outing each day; our community halls allow Alice to have her 7th birthday party and to feel like a princess; our leisure centre and Sports Hub allow John to play football with his mates and feel mentally and physically stronger.
At Elmbridge you can contribute to the local community and join an organisation focussed on delivering the best services to its residents and businesses. You will be assisting the Legal Team in delivering an effective legal service to the Council. You will attend Committee meetings and provide legal advice and services on matters relating to both commercial and residential property transactions.
