Job Type: Permanent
Location: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Expire in: 2 days

Job Description

Environmental & Planning Solicitor (5+ PQE)

Location: Central London or Cambridge (Flexible Hybrid Working, Will consider 4 Days a week)

Salary: £60-100k DOE

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Environmental & Planning Solicitor (5+ PQE) to join a respected specialist law practice handling nationally significant environmental and planning matters.

This role is ideal for a solicitor who wants to combine meaningful, high-quality work with excellent work-life balance in a supportive and collaborative team environment.

The Opportunity

You will work on complex and high-profile matters in environmental, planning, and public law. The role offers real autonomy, the ability to contribute to case strategy, and the opportunity to make a genuine impact through claimant-side litigation.

Key responsibilities include:

  * Leading and managing judicial review and statutory challenges

  * Advising on complex planning and environmental decisions

  * Conducting planning inquiries and local plan work

  * Supporting and developing nuisance claims (including noise, odour, and related matters)

  * Building strong client relationships and contributing to overall case strategy

About You

  * Qualified Solicitor with 5+ years’ PQE

  * Strong experience in judicial review and/or planning law

  * Excellent drafting, analytical, and strategic litigation skills

  * Comfortable managing matters independently and supervising junior colleagues when required

  * Passionate about high-quality claimant-side work and cases that have real public impact

Experience in property or nuisance matters is advantageous but not essential.

Why This Role Stands Out

  * Excellent work-life balance with a culture that respects personal time

  * Flexible working hours and hybrid working arrangements

  * Choice of working from Central London or Cambridge

  * Supportive and collaborative team culture

  * Opportunity to work closely with senior lawyers and have real input into case strategy

  * Meaningful legal work that can influence planning decisions and protect communities

  * A firm environment that values quality over billing pressure

This role is suited to someone who wants to work on challenging and impactful legal matters while being part of a firm that prioritises wellbeing, collaboration, and professional development. Full-time preferred, although four days per week may be considered for the right candidate
