The Opportunity
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and personable Real Estate Solicitor or CILEX to join a highly regarded Commercial Real Estate team at Associate or Senior Associate level (circa 4–8 PQE).
The successful candidate will have a solid grounding in mainstream Commercial Real Estate work and will benefit from direct client exposure, managing transactions at the appropriate level while being supported where needed. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives on building and developing client relationships and who wants to work with a diverse portfolio of clients across sectors, rather than being restricted to narrow, repetitive mandates.
What’s on Offer:
Alongside a rewarding and ambitious career path, the firm provides a competitive benefits package, including:
* Minimum of 25 days annual leave (increasing with length of service) plus office closure over Christmas
* Employee pension scheme
* Private medical insurance (opt-in, with family cover options)
* Income protection (up to 75% of salary) and death-in-service cover (3x salary)
* Travel insurance for you and eligible family members
* Interest-free travel pass/parking loan
* One-hour early finish one Friday each month
* Two paid volunteering days each year
* Access to sports teams, hobby clubs, social events, and employee wellbeing programmes
* Clear promotion pathways with annual review processes
Key Highlights of the Role:
* Acting on a broad mix of commercial property transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, lettings, and development projects.
* Running your own caseload with the support of senior colleagues where required.
* Working closely with existing clients while also contributing to the growth and development of new relationships.
* Taking an active role in business development, with full support and resources to succeed.
* Joining a team that values personality as much as technical expertise, delivering results in a friendly and approachable style.
The Team
This is one of the largest and most established commercial property teams in the North West, with over 130 real estate fee earners across the wider practice. Recognised in the Legal 500, the team is particularly well-regarded for its development expertise and its ability to provide a comprehensive range of real estate services across all disciplines.
A large proportion of the team’s work comes from long-standing, repeat clients – a testament to the quality of service and trusted advisor relationships that have been built over time.
