  • Develop a profile as a trusted advisor and subject-matter expert
  • Help drive elements of departmental strategy, including new product or service lines
  • Maintain an understanding of team and departmental KPIs and your contribution to overall performance
  • Stay abreast of legal and sector developments relevant to commercial property

  • Qualified solicitor with 4+ years' PQE (applications from more senior candidates also welcome)
  • Strong background in commercial property within a real estate team
  • Experience handling a broad range of commercial property matters
  • Health & Social Care real estate experience is advantageous but not essential
  • Demonstrable commitment to client service excellence
  • Experience participating in, and ideally generating, business development activity
  • Genuine interest in mentoring, supervising, and developing junior lawyers
  • Commercially aware, collaborative, and proactive


The Firm

The culture is inclusive, collegiate, and values collaboration over hierarchy. Lawyers are encouraged to contribute ideas, shape strategy, and develop in ways that align with both their personal ambitions and the firm's wider goals.

The firm is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates. Reasonable adjustments are supported throughout the recruitment process to ensure every candidate has the opportunity to perform at their best.
