Property Partner

Job Description

Salaried Partner, Property

Build it. Lead it. Take it into equity partner.

We’re working with a West End Firm, a firm with a genuinely distinctive reputation and a strong platform, who are now looking to appoint a Salaried Partner to grow and develop their Property department , with a clear bias towards commercial property conveyancing which will develop into an equity partner role

This is not a caretaker role and it is not a title-only partnership. This is a strategic hire for someone who wants influence, autonomy and a real route to equity once the practice is further established and scaled.

If you are a senior property lawyer who enjoys building teams, developing client relationships and shaping a department’s direction, this is the kind of opportunity that does not come along often.

The opportunity:

This firm already advises across both residential and commercial property , but this role exists to strengthen and expand the commercial property offering , develop new streams of work and position the department for long-term growth.

You will have the backing of an established firm, the freedom to develop the practice, and a clear expectation that this role progresses to equity partnership .

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading and developing the Property department , with a focus on commercial property conveyancing
• Growing existing client relationships and generating new work
• Advising on a range of commercial property transactions , with residential work where appropriate
• Setting strategy, workflows and service standards for the department
• Building, mentoring and developing junior lawyers as the team grows
• Working collaboratively with partners across the firm to cross-refer and expand instructions
• Playing a key role in business development, profile raising and longer-term firm strategy

What they’re looking for:

• 10+ years’ PQE in property law
• Strong background in commercial property conveyancing
• Experience handling residential property work is advantageous
• A proven or emerging practice builder , not just a technical specialist
• Commercially astute, client-focused and confident leading from the front
• Someone motivated by progression to equity partnership

Why this role stands out:

• Salaried Partner position with a genuine route to equity
• Opportunity to shape and grow a department, not inherit one
• Strong firm brand and platform to build from
• High level of autonomy and influence
• Long-term strategic role rather than a short-term fix

This is a standout opportunity for a senior property lawyer who wants more than incremental progression and is ready to take ownership of a department within a respected firm.

Interested? Get in touch for a confidential conversation and we will talk through the detail, the trajectory and the expectations openly and discreetly.
