Job description

A well-established Top 100 law firm is looking for an experienced Commercial Property Director to join its senior team and help develop its presence in Stoke.

This is a senior opportunity for someone who is comfortable working autonomously, managing their own caseload and developing client relationships, while also having the scope to build something longer term. The firm is looking to strengthen its Commercial Property offering in Stoke and, over time, develop a team around the successful candidate.

The wider Commercial Property team is already established across several regional offices, with senior support available from the existing department. The Stoke office is at an earlier stage, giving the successful candidate genuine scope to shape the offering locally.

• Manage a broad Commercial Property caseload, handling matters from instruction through to completion
• Advise clients across a wide range of commercial property transactions
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, referrers and professional contacts
• Generate new business and contribute to the continued growth of the department
• Build the firm's Commercial Property presence in Stoke
• Work closely with the existing senior team across the wider region
• Provide technical support on more complex matters where required
• Help develop a team in Stoke as the office grows
• Take responsibility for your own workload and work with a high degree of autonomy
• Qualified Commercial Property Solicitor with strong experience across a broad range of matters
• Senior-level experience, ideally having operated at Director level previously
• Candidates looking to step up from a smaller firm or move into a more senior position will also be considered
• Confident working independently and managing your own workload
• Strong client relationships and, ideally, an existing network or following
• Commercially minded with the confidence to develop new work
• Strong technical and communication skills
• Comfortable building relationships and developing business
• Someone who is motivated by the opportunity to build and develop an offering rather than simply inherit an established team
• Salary around £90,000-£110,000, depending on experience
• Annual tax-free profit share
• Additional Director share scheme
• Hybrid and flexible working
• 28 days' annual leave, including birthday and an additional ex-gratia day, plus UK bank holidays
• Long-service awards
• Life assurance worth 3x salary
• Financial wellbeing support
• Employee savings and salary sacrifice schemes
• Annual contribution towards legal services

This is a good opportunity for a senior Commercial Property Solicitor who wants more autonomy, has a strong commercial approach and is interested in helping to establish and grow a presence in Stoke, with the support of an established regional team.
