Commercial Property Solicitor

Senior Commercial Property Solicitor – Leadership Opportunity

I am working exclusively with a respected law firm that is looking to appoint a senior commercial property solicitor to lead and develop its Commercial Property department. This is a standout opportunity for an experienced solicitor who wants to take ownership of a well-established, busy practice area and shape its future direction with real autonomy.
My client has a long-standing reputation for quality, collaboration and exceptional client care. Their structure creates a uniquely supportive culture where people are empowered to contribute ideas and influence the firm’s long-term success.

The Role
You will step into a key leadership position, taking responsibility for the Commercial Property department while managing a varied and high-quality caseload. You’ll be supported by strong existing workflows and established client relationships, while also having scope to further expand and develop the team.

Work will typically include:

• Freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals
• Commercial leases and landlord/tenant matters
• Development transactions, including options and overage agreements
• Agricultural and land-related matters
• Refinancing and investment portfolios

 
Alongside fee-earning, you’ll play a central role in business development, mentoring junior colleagues, and contributing to the wider firm.

About You

My client is seeking a solicitor with 5+ years’ PQE in commercial property who is ready to progress into a leadership position. You’ll be commercially minded, confident in managing a varied caseload, and motivated by the chance to influence the shape and growth of a department.

This position is ideal for someone who values autonomy, enjoys collaborative working, and wants to join a firm where culture, people and professional development are genuinely prioritised.

What’s on Offer

This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role within a forward-thinking, people-centred firm. Benefits include:

• Competitive salary and profit share
