Planning Solicitor
The role of a Planning Solicitor
Planning solicitors will advise on all aspects of planning law for the council. They will provide a ‘legal health-check’ on appeals and applications.
When private or public entities want to develop or construct an area, the related legal issues need to be addressed by the solicitor.
The role of a Planning Solicitor includes:
- Anticipating & addressing planning permissions
- Reviewing & responding to planning objections
- Minding any conservation areas, listed buildings & enforcement notices.
- Processing & advising on appeals
- Reviewing & negotiating legal documents & agreements
- Advising clients
- Managing a caseload of complex planning cases
Qualifications & Experience
As a solicitor, you’ll have fantastic career progression opportunities. When it comes to the law sector there are many different routes you can take. You can choose to work for a small law firm, the government, local authorities, charity or large private law firms.
Although there are ample opportunities to train and specialise, all roles require a law degree or an equivalent.
You will also be required to have experience of drafting, reviewing and negotiating legal documents and agreements for complex cases.
Salary
Contractors: £30 – £45 per hour
FeefoThey worked really hard to find me a new assignment when my previous ended. They were very helpful in trying to get me back into work asap. They didn’t make promises they couldn’t keep and were very proactive.
