The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Property Solicitor to join a well-established boutique commercial law firm based in Derby. This role has become available due to an upcoming vacancy within the Commercial Property team.
The team is seeking an experienced candidate who can quickly integrate and contribute from the outset. Given the busy nature of the department, the successful candidate will be confident handling matters with minimal supervision and able to “hit the ground running.”

The successful candidate will:
* Have solid experience in commercial property matters
* Be able to manage their own caseload with limited supervision
* Demonstrate strong client care and commercial awareness
* Be based locally to Derby/Nottingham (preferred)
