Job description

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 across a wide range of property matters including:

• Landlord & tenant
• Real estate finance
• Development projects
• Sales and acquisitions

You'll also be supervising a capable team, which includes a newly qualified solicitor 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 Are 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

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 let's have a proper conversation. Bonus points if your CV includes both achievements and a favourite biscuit.
