Job Description:
Commercial Property Lawyer/Head of Department 6+ PQE
Surrey
Salary £60,000+
Are you a seasoned Commercial Property Solicitor (6+ years PQE) who's ready to take the reins, lead a team, and still have time for a decent cup of coffee? A growing, modern law firm in Farnham is on the lookout for someone just like you.
This is your chance to lead a thriving department in a firm that combines traditional values with a forward-thinking approach and doesn't believe leadership should mean late nights every night.
About the Firm:
A well-regarded, SME law firm with a dynamic team and a friendly, approachable culture. They like their legal advice sharp and office banter sharper (but still HR-approved). With modern case management systems and a refreshing lack of red tape, They believe in getting things done efficiently with a smile.
The Role:
You'll be steering the ship (no actual sailing experience required) across a wide range of property matters including:
* Landlord & tenant
* Sales and acquisitions
You'll also be supervising a capable team, which includes a newly qualified solicitor whos eager to learn and secretarial support that keeps things running smoother than your average espresso machine.
You'll work closely with the Partners and enjoy a mix of home and office working.
What Were Looking For:
* A qualified Solicitor with 6+ years PQE in Commercial Property
* A calm, confident file-juggler with serious legal chops
* Leadership experience if you've herded cats (or solicitors), you're on the right track
* Someone who can bring both gravitas and good humour to the team
* Detail-oriented and ambitious bonus points if you enjoy a good spreadsheet or strong pun
What's in It for You (besides the satisfaction of a well-drafted lease):
* 28 days holiday for the Head of Department, 25 days for fee earners, plus bank holidays and a festive bonus break at Christmas
* Private medical insurance because paper cuts are real
* Discretionary performance bonus based on results, not hours logged
* Death in Service a perk you hopefully won't need any time soon
* Pension contributions and onsite parking
* Hybrid working finally put your home office to good use
Location: Surrey (home of good pubs, leafy walks, and now, your next career move)
This isn't just another job ad it's your chance to step into a leadership role where your expertise will be valued, your growth supported, and your lunch break protected.
Apply confidentially and lets have a proper conversation. Bonus points if your CV includes both achievements and a favourite biscuit.
