Job Description

Agriculture & Rural Affairs Lawyer | 45k+ | Somerset | Established Firm | Long-Term Opportunity
Are you a solicitor with a passion for agriculture and rural life?
If you enjoy working closely with landowners, farmers, and rural businesses - and want to be part of a firm where those relationships really matter - this could be a great fit.
A well-established Somerset law firm with a strong reputation in the rural community is looking to add an experienced lawyer to its Agriculture & Rural Affairs team. This is a full-time, permanent role based in Wells, Street, or Somerton, giving you the chance to work in the heart of the Southwest countryside while building lasting client relationships.
The role itself is varied; you'll advise on everything from property transactions, succession planning, and tenancies, through to regulatory, planning, and compliance matters. You'll also draft and negotiate key contracts and agreements, keeping a diverse caseload moving while delivering the high-quality, practical advice clients rely on.
What makes this opportunity stand out is the firm's culture - you'll have genuine autonomy, the support of experienced colleagues across different practice areas, and the chance to grow a long-term career in a collaborative, client-first environment.
You'll have 3+ years' PQE in agriculture, rural affairs, or property law, with a strong technical background and the confidence to manage client relationships directly.
If interested, submit your CV to mohamed.hamza@qedlegal.com.
