Commercial Property Solicitor (3+ PQE)
Location: Hampshire and Sussex Offices
Salary £40,000 - £60,000
Full Time
Are you a legal maestro who can turn property puzzles into seamless transactions? Do you find joy in navigating the labyrinth of land laws and contracts? If you have over 3 years of post-qualification experience and a penchant for property, we have a desk (and a sturdy chair) waiting for you!
The Firm
A well-established and growing law firm with over a century of experience, providing high-quality legal services to businesses and individuals across the South. With a team of over 100 professionals across multiple locations, we offer expert advice across a full range of practice areas, delivering practical solutions tailored to our clients' needs.
The Role
As a key player in our Commercial Property Department, you'll dive into a diverse caseload, including:
* Land Acquisition & Disposals: Assist clients in securing and selling land with the precision of a seasoned surveyor.
* Site Assembly: Piece together property puzzles, ensuring no corners are cut (unless it's a cul-de-sac).
* Options & Pre-emption Agreements: Guide clients through securing those all-important first dibs and pre-emption rights.
* Conditional Contracts & Promotional Agreements: Draft and negotiate contracts that keep our clients on solid ground.
* Planning: Navigate projects through the planning process with the finesse of a legal architect.
* Section 106, 278, and 38 Agreements: Simplify complex agreements, ensuring compliance and success.
* Plot Sales: Manage plot sales from the first brick to the final handshake.
Who Are We Looking For?
You're a solicitor who can confidently act for both landowners and developers, providing commercial advice that adds value and minimizes risk. If you can navigate the complex world of property law with a smile (or at least without pulling your hair out), you might just be the one we're looking for.
* A strong communicator who can negotiate with the best and keep clients happier than a landlord on rent day.
* Detail-oriented with the ability to juggle multiple tasks no actual juggling required, but hey, if you can, that's cool too.
What's In It For You?
* Our offices are nestled in some of the most picturesque spots on the South Coast beach walks at lunch, anyone?
* A friendly team that knows how to work hard and laugh through the paperwork.
* Opportunities for growth, development, and maybe even a bit of world domination (starting with Sussex).
