Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Hybrid Working
We are seeking a Commercial Property Solicitor with 4 years’ + PQE to join our established and busy property department. This is a great opportunity to step into a thriving team that handles a wide range of high-quality commercial real estate work.
About the Role
You will work across a broad commercial property caseload, with a strong emphasis on landlord and tenant matters, so solid experience in this area is essential. The work is varied and will include:
* Lease negotiations and renewals
* Acquisitions and disposals
* Commercial development matters

There is no requirement to bring work with you, but we welcome someone who enjoys engaging with clients, being active in the local market, and contributing to light business development as part of day-to-day practice.
This role does not include insolvency or business recovery work, as these areas are handled by other departments.
Who We Are
A friendly and collaborative office, including partners, senior associates, trainee solicitors, paralegals and support staff.
Open-plan environment with a supportive, down-to-earth culture focused and professional but sociable, with regular gatherings for birthdays, festive champagne days before Christmas, and an annual Christmas party.
Much of our administrative work (typing, IT, payroll) is outsourced, allowing you to focus on client matters and development.
Working Arrangements
* Hybrid working available once settled in—initial period in the office, with potential for half-days from home.
* Preference for in-office working to maintain collaboration and department cohesion.
* On-site parking available.
Benefits
* 20–25 days’ annual leave depending on seniority, plus your birthday off.
* Office closure over Christmas (typically from 23rd December), generally not taken from holiday entitlement.
* Standard auto-enrolment pension.
* Salary sacrifice options under review.
* About You
* 4–5 years’ PQE as a Commercial Property Solicitor.
* Strong and demonstrable experience in landlord and tenant work.
* Confident managing your own matters and communicating directly with clients.
* Positive, collaborative and comfortable with light BD and client engagement.
