Job description

Commercial Property Solicitor (3+ PQE)

Location : Hampshire and Sussex Office s

Salary £40,000 - £60,000

Full Time

Are you a legal maestro who can turn property puzzles into seamless transactions? Do you find joy in navigating the labyrinth of land laws and contracts? If you have over 3 years of post-qualification experience and a penchant for property, we have a desk (and a sturdy chair) waiting for you!

The Firm

A well-established and growing law firm with over a century of experience, providing high-quality legal services to businesses and individuals across the South. With a team of over 100 professionals across multiple locations, we offer expert advice across a full range of practice areas, delivering practical solutions tailored to our clients' needs.

The Role

As a key player in our Commercial Property Department, you'll dive into a diverse caseload, including :

• Land Acquisition & Disposals : Assist clients in securing and selling land with the precision of a seasoned surveyor.
• Site Assembly : Piece together property puzzles, ensuring no corners are cut (unless it's a cul-de-sac).
• Options & Pre-emption Agreements : Guide clients through securing those all-important first dibs and pre-emption rights.
• Conditional Contracts & Promotional Agreements : Draft and negotiate contracts that keep our clients on solid ground.
• Planning : Navigate projects through the planning process with the finesse of a legal architect.
• Section 106, 278, and 38 Agreements : Simplify complex agreements, ensuring compliance and success.
• Plot Sales : Manage plot sales from the first brick to the final handshake.

Who Are We Looking For?

You're a solicitor who can confidently act for both landowners and developers, providing commercial advice that adds value and minimizes risk. If you can navigate the complex world of property law with a smile (or at least without pulling your hair out), you might just be the one we're looking for.

A strong communicator who can negotiate with the best and keep clients happier than a landlord on rent day.

Detail-oriented with the ability to juggle multiple tasks no actual juggling required, but hey, if you can, that's cool too.

What's In It For You?

Our offices are nestled in some of the most picturesque spots on the South Coast beach walks at lunch, anyone?

A friendly team that knows how to work hard and laugh through the paperwork.

Opportunities for growth, development, and maybe even a bit of world domination (starting with Sussex).

P.S. If you can explain Section 106 agreements in a way that doesn't make our heads spin, you're already ahead of the game.
