I'm excited to be working with a highly regarded regional full service, who are looking to expand their Commercial Property team in Reading; looking for a senior solicitor who thrives on variety, responsibility, and client contact.

This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll be hands-on with major transactions, advising on everything from freehold and leasehold deals through to portfolio management, secured lending, and property support on corporate transactions. You’ll also get the chance to shape relationships in the local commercial community and help them keep building something special.

What You’ll Do

• Run your own caseload of commercial property matters with partner support when needed.
• Draft and negotiate leases, renewals, licences, and related documents.
• Guide landlords and occupiers on portfolio management.
• Spot risks early and deliver practical, commercial solutions.
• Work closely with colleagues across their wider Real Estate team.
• Build lasting client relationships and play an active role in business development.

What We’re Looking For

• A senior solicitor with a strong track record in commercial property work.
• Someone confident working independently but collaborative at heart.
• A clear communicator who can build trust quickly with clients and referrers.
• Commercially minded, pragmatic, and solutions-focused.

Why Join?

You’ll get the quality work you’d expect from a Top Tier Legal 500/Chambers-rated firm, with the culture of a close-knit team. They don’t sit on the fence with their advice, they give clients real answers and value lawyers who do the same.

Benefits include:

• 28 days holiday + birthday day off
• Hybrid working
• Enhanced pension, life assurance & private medical
• Bring your dog to work, cycle-to-work scheme, social events, and more
