Commercial Property Solicitor / CILEx / Fee Earner
Location: Cirencester / Cotswolds region (hybrid working)
Salary: Up to £70,000 DOE + bonus scheme
Why This Role Might Be Perfect for You:
Join a respected regional law firm in the Cotswolds that does really good commercial property work - from leases & acquisitions to development‐led transactions. You'll be working with high-quality, affluent clients (local business owners, developers, property investors) in a beautiful part of England, with scope for real responsibility and influence.
If you're ambitious, enjoy owning your cases from start to finish and want to continue growing as a property-specialist, this could be the role you've been waiting for.
What You Will Be Doing:
1. Managing a full caseload of commercial property transactions.
2. Running files end-to-end - from client onboarding, drafting / negotiating leases, liaising with third parties, through to billing & file-closure.
3. Advising on a broad range of landlord & tenant matters (renewals / 1954 Act issues), lease renegotiations, easements and other commercial property legal issues.
4. Working under the guidance of senior partners in the property / commercial property team - pulling in expertise from across the firm.
Who You Are:
5. You have 2+ years fee earning experience.
6. You're confident handling your own caseload, negotiating leases and acquisitions, and advising clients with minimal supervision.
7. Excellent communicator with strong attention to detail, great client service skills and a "can-do" attitude.
8. Experience with agricultural land is a plus.
What You Will Get:
9. Up to £70,000 base depending on your experience
10. Discretionary / performance-related bonus scheme
11. Hybrid working - allowing you flexibility and work / life balance
12. 25 days annual leave + bank holidays + your birthday off
13. Private health insurance and life / death-in-service benefit
14. Long service awards and other recognition
15. Free onsite parking (rare in town!)
16. Opportunity to work with high-calibre, often affluent clients on sophisticated property matters - not just "everyday" property matters
Why It Is Different:
17. It's hands-on. You'll own the work rather than being a junior cog.
18. It's grounded in a beautiful part of England (Cotswolds / Cirencester), with real connection to the local business and property community.
19. You'd be part of a firm with a reputation for quality, where people care about how legal advice is delivered and support your ongoing professional growth.
20. Strong line of sight on progression: opportunity to deepen your specialism, take on increasing responsibility and grow professionally within the firm.
