Commercial Property Solicitor
Hybrid – 3 days in the office | Full-time or part-time | £35,000 – £70,000 DOE
We’re working with a modern, forward-thinking law firm recognised by the Financial Times as one of the Top 50 Most Innovative Law Firms in the UK & Europe, and they’re now looking to strengthen their Commercial Property offering.
This is an opportunity that can flex to suit you. Whether you’re an experienced commercial property solicitor ready to take ownership of a department, or a strong mid-level lawyer looking to develop further with senior support, the platform is here for you to do the most impactful work of your career.
-----------------------------------
The Opportunity
We’re open to two profiles for this key hire:
* Established Commercial Property Specialist: You’ll be confident working independently, advising clients without supervision and ready to drive the department’s growth. For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity to shape the team and step into a Head of Department position.
* Rising Talent (2–5 PQE): You’ll already have solid practical experience and be ready to develop further. You’ll work closely with a senior consultant solicitor and a dedicated trainee, giving you strong support while you continue to build your expertise and client base.
Either way, you’ll be joining a practice where ambition is matched by opportunity — with a clear, supported path to senior leadership for those who want it.
-----------------------------------
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll advise both landlords and tenants across a broad range of commercial property work, including:
* Drafting and negotiating new lease grants
* Lease renewals and extensions
* Property auctions – sales and purchases
* Serving formal notices
* Advising on Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 matters
* Lease extensions and associated transactional work
You’ll be encouraged to work closely with clients, shape processes, and contribute ideas as the team continues to evolve.
-----------------------------------
Why This Role Stands Out
* Salary: £35,000 – £70,000 (depending on experience, calibre, and following)
* Flexibility: Full-time or part-time, with three days in the office
* Culture: A democratic, non-hierarchical team – decisions are made collectively, and there’s no formal dress code
* Holidays: Statutory allowance plus one additional day for every year of service (up to five extra days)
* Progression: A rare opportunity to build and lead a department as it grows
-----------------------------------
Who We’re Looking For
* Qualified Solicitor in England & Wales
* Experience advising landlords and tenants on a range of commercial property matters
* Ability to handle matters independently and deliver a high standard of client care
* A proactive, solutions-focused approach and collaborative working style
* Desire to develop long-term client relationships and, for senior candidates, to help shape the future direction of the department

This is far more than just another property role. It’s a chance to grow something, shape your own career path, and have a genuine voice in how a forward-thinking law firm evolves its Commercial Property offering.
