Job description

Do you want to lose the time recording?

Here’s your chance to join a progressive, forward-looking law firm that has thrown away the timesheets and embraced value-based pricing. No endless meetings. Just proper client-focused work in a supportive, down-to-earth environment.

We’re working with a boutique property law firm in North East London who are looking for a Commercial Property Lawyer with at least two years’ experience. This is a rare opportunity to join a practice that does things differently.

Why this role is different

• No time recording – ever. The firm is built around value, not the clock.
• Anti-corporate culture. Flat structure, no unnecessary hierarchy, and no meetings unless they’re genuinely needed.
• Client first. The firm has built a strong, loyal client base by cutting out the nonsense and focusing on excellent service.
• Flex your ambitions. Want to just get on with the work in a relaxed office environment? Perfect. Want to get involved in running the firm and build your way to partnership? That’s on the table too.
• Fun, but serious. The team take their clients and their work seriously, but they try to make the experience enjoyable and supportive for everyone involved.

About the work

The role is focused on Commercial Property work, including:

• Landlord & tenant matters (drafting and negotiating leases)
• Commercial sales and purchases
• Development work
• Secured lending

About you

You’ll bring:

• At least two years’ commercial property experience
• Strong technical skills and confidence handling your own caseload
• A motivated, can-do attitude
• A preference for a friendly, collaborative environment over big-firm formality

If you don’t suit a traditional corporate environment – or if you’re looking for more scope, flexibility, and involvement than a big firm can offer – this could be exactly the move you’ve been waiting for.
