Are you a driven and commercially minded property lawyer looking for your next career move? This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established regional firm as a Senior Associate within their expanding Commercial Property team.

The Role

You'll work closely with partners on complex transactional matters, while managing your own caseload with autonomy. Support is available where needed, but the role is suited to someone confident handling high-quality work independently.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Portfolio management for both occupiers and landlords

  • Providing corporate support on the property aspects of business sales and purchases

  • Advising on secured lending matters

  • Identifying risks and delivering pragmatic, commercially focused solutions

  • Developing strong client and referrer relationships, while supporting business development initiatives

The Person

We're looking for a proactive, forward-thinking solicitor with:

  • Significant commercial property experience and the ability to manage matters autonomously

  • A strong track record of building and maintaining client relationships

  • Excellent drafting and communication skills

  • Strong organisation and attention to detail

  • A practical, commercial mindset with the ability to problem-solve effectively

  • Willingness to engage in marketing and networking to grow the practice

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing and ambitious team, where you'll be exposed to high-quality work and have genuine scope to develop your career further. The firm offers:

  • Hybrid working - only two days per week in the office

  • A supportive culture with strong partner access

  • Exposure to top-quality clients and transactions

  • Clear career progression opportunities
