Head of Real Estate
Major Growth Potential | £100k+ Starting Salary + Bonus + Hybrid Working
Take the lead of a key department at one of the region’s most dynamic, award-winning law firms.
A rare leadership opportunity has opened at a progressive, multi-office law firm with a strong presence across Wales, known for its entrepreneurial spirit, long-term vision, and collaborative culture.
As Head of Commercial Property, you’ll take the reins of a respected and growing department, with the autonomy and support to shape its future. This is a standout opportunity for an ambitious commercial property lawyer ready to lead from the front and make a lasting impact.
Why This Role Stands Out:
* Strategic Leadership Role – Join the senior leadership team and influence firmwide direction
* Complex, High-Value Work – Lead on a range of commercial property matters including acquisitions, developments, leases, investments, and landlord & tenant matters
* Uncapped Growth Potential – Build and scale a thriving practice with full support from forward-thinking leadership
* Excellent Remuneration – Starting salary from £100,000+, with a performance bonus, private office, parking, and more
* Flexible Working & Autonomy – Hybrid setup with robust BD, IT, and operational support to let you focus on what you do best
The Opportunity
You’ll lead and grow the firm’s Commercial Property department, overseeing a mix of development, investment, and landlord/tenant work for a broad client base including developers, SMEs, local authorities, and national businesses.
You’ll manage your own high-value caseload, mentor junior lawyers, contribute to firmwide growth strategies, and play a central role in business development and client relationship management.
What We’re Looking For:
* Qualified Solicitor or CILEX with 8+ years’ PQE in commercial property
* A confident, strategic leader with deep knowledge of the property market and strong commercial instincts
* Proven experience managing complex transactions and leading teams
* Strong client-handling, business development, and leadership skills
* A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset and readiness to be part of a high-performing senior team
