Haggerty Jaques is proud to be working with a well-known international law firm that is looking to appoint a Social Housing Finance Lawyer into its specialist finance team. Although the firm has a global footprint, the social housing finance practice is very much rooted in local and regional work, supporting key housing associations, lenders, and institutions across the North.

The Role

  • Funding arrangements for social housing and development projects

  • Regular contact with long-standing local clients and regional decision-makers

About You

The team would welcome applications from:

  • NQ+ solicitors
  • Lawyers with experience in banking, social housing finance, or real estate finance
  • Strong drafting and organisational skills
  • A genuine interest in finance work with a social purpose
  • A collaborative and commercially minded approach

Why This Role?

  • International firm with excellent resources and training
  • A down-to-earth local finance team with strong regional client relationships
  • Exposure to high quality work without losing the local focus
  • Hybrid working and flexibility
  • Option to be based in Leeds or Manchester

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the structure and support of a big international firm, but prefers working closely with local clients and regional housing associations where the impact is immediate and meaningful.
