You’ve built your career in commercial property law, managing high-value transactions and demanding clients with ease. But you’re ready for more—more recognition, more progression, and more impact.
Here’s what’s different about this role:
* You’ll be part of one of the largest full-service Real Estate / Commercial Property teams in the world—where property law isn’t a side offering, it’s 25% of the firm’s work.
* You’ll be trusted to lead day-to-day client relationships on major occupier and investor matters, with exposure to big-ticket national and international deals.
* You’ll have the resources, tech, and team support to focus on the law—not firefighting admin.
What’s In It for You
A high-calibre role deserves a high-calibre package:
* £80,000 – £95,000 salary + discretionary bonus + chargeable hours bonus (up to 10% of salary).
* Hybrid working – 3 days in the Manchester office, 2 from home.
* 26 days holiday + extra firm-wide holiday in December, with the option to buy/sell leave.
* Private medical insurance (firm-funded single cover) + dental plan options.
* Matched pension contributions up to 6% after 5 years.
* Life assurance (4x salary) and income protection.
* GymFlex, cycle to work scheme, and a range of voluntary benefits.
* Structured career development – training, mentoring, secondments (national and international).
* Pro bono and CSR opportunities – real ways to give back.
The Work
You’ll handle a varied, high-quality caseload including:
* Major commercial property transactions for leading occupiers and investors.
* Strategic client relationship management.
* Business development to grow key accounts.
* Coaching and mentoring junior colleagues.
What We’re Looking For
* 4+ years PQE in commercial property / Real Estate (we’ll consider strong applicants with slightly less).
* Proven ability to manage your own caseload and collaborate across teams.
* Strong technical knowledge + commercial acumen.
* An adaptable, solutions-driven approach—comfortable using legal tech.

Global reach with a Manchester heartbeat. A collaborative, forward-thinking environment that genuinely supports flexible working, invests in your development, and values your contribution.
