This experience has allowed us to lead the way in helping clients find the right legal talent for their real estate needs, whether that is a Real Estate Partner who can guide complex transactions and portfolio strategy or an Associate with the expertise to support leasing, acquisitions, development or financing matters.
When the market shifted in recent years, the real estate landscape evolved just as quickly. Traditional transactional work now sits alongside complex financing structures, changing regulatory frameworks, and increased demand for strategic, commercially minded legal support.
The most forward-thinking real estate businesses are ensuring they have the legal talent in place to navigate these challenges – professionals who can manage high-value transactions, support fast-moving development projects, advise on portfolio growth, and mitigate risk in an ever-changing market.
At The People Of, we help leading organisations secure outstanding real estate legal talent, from major developers and asset managers to national retailers and investment groups.
We match our clients with lawyers who bring the experience, commercial awareness, and technical expertise needed to support acquisitions, disposals, leasing, development, financing, land use, planning, and asset management – all while managing timelines, stakeholder demands, and complex deal structures.

Why Choose The People Of?
As we’ve already mentioned, honesty and transparency are core values at The People Of. As a bespoke recruitment partner, we focus on doing what is right for our clients rather than chasing quarterly targets or volume-driven placements.
Working with some recruiters can feel transactional – like you are just another name on a spreadsheet, being pushed toward roles that don’t align with your goals or being presented with candidates who simply don’t meet the standard.
At The People Of, we take a different approach. We genuinely care about the lawyers, firms, and businesses we support, and we invest the time to understand what success means for each of them.
There is a reason so many of the lawyers we place return as clients later in their careers.
We have helped senior real estate legal professionals move into impactful roles across leading firms, developers, and real estate investment businesses – supporting them as they take the next step in their professional journey.
