About Our Client
Our client is a top-tier international law firm with a market-leading real estate practice. The team is known for advising on complex commercial leasing transactions across hospitality, mixed-use, and office sectors.

* Coordinating with internal teams and external counsel across jurisdictions
* Mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to team leadership
The Successful Applicant
* Qualified solicitor with 5+ years' PQE in commercial real estate leasing

* Strong drafting, negotiation, and client management skills
* Available to start within the next few weeks

* A senior-level role in a globally recognised real estate team
* Opportunity to lead transactions for high-profile clients in the hospitality and commercial sectors
