PARTNER - COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
Specialist Real Estate Law Firm
A leading national property specialist firm is seeking to appoint a Commercial Property Partner to support continued growth and respond to increasing client demand. This represents a rare opportunity to join a focused real estate platform with the influence, autonomy and strategic input not typically available within full-service environments.
The Firm
The hiring firm is recognised for its depth of expertise across commercial real estate transactions, advising developers, funds, landowners, institutional investors and corporate occupiers. The practice has delivered consistent year-on-year growth through both lateral expansion and increased market share.
This is a highly credible specialist platform with strong client loyalty and a well-defined market identity.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Partners moving from larger or full-service environments consistently note the following strengths:
* High-quality commercial property work
* Well-aligned client base and referral channels
* Ability to genuinely influence strategic priorities
* Faster decision-making and low operational friction
* Clear platform for practice development and team build-out
The firm's focus means that real estate is not a support department - it is the core business, with all strategic and investment decisions aligned accordingly.
Remuneration & Benefits
The firm offers remuneration and benefits structured to compete with leading City practices, including:
* Competitive drawings
* Performance-linked upside
* Investment in client development and origination
* Support for strategic lateral build-out where relevant
* Modern partner benefits structure
The firm has a commercial mindset and is prepared to structure packages to secure the right senior hire.
Candidate Profile
We are interested in confidential conversations with Partners who can demonstrate:
* Established experience in Commercial Property
* A credible client following or strategic network
* Commercial awareness and collaborative ethos
* Appetite to contribute to continued firm growth
Candidates may be motivated by the prospect of a more specialist platform, improved strategic influence, a better cultural environment, or a clearer pathway for client development.
Growth Trajectory
The firm has maintained strong growth and is actively investing in talent to accelerate the next phase. This appointment is viewed as strategically important rather than opportunistic.
Confidentiality
This is a discreet search. Full firm details and commercial conversations will be provided during the confidential discussion phase.
