Job Title: Commercial Property Lawyer (1-5 PQE) – Charities & Social Impact Focus

Location: Flexible – Hybrid/Remote options available

Salary: £35,000 - £45,000 (DOE) + generous profit share scheme

PQE Level: 1-5 years | Role Type: Permanent

Why This Role Stands Out

At PDA Law, we combine high-quality commercial property work with meaningful social impact—offering a rare opportunity to work with charities, religious institutions, CIOs, and housing associations alongside a thriving corporate client base.

If you’re a 1-5 PQE lawyer looking to:

• Diversify your expertise in a role blending traditional commercial property and not-for-profit sectors,
• Gain autonomy while benefiting from senior support in a collaborative, mid-sized firm,
• Balance challenging work with flexible arrangements (hybrid/remote options),
• Earn beyond your salary with a transparent profit share scheme,

—this could be your ideal next step.

The Work You’ll Do

• Lead on commercial leases, acquisitions, and development projects (from high-street retail to charity-owned assets).
• Advise faith groups, charities, and housing associations on property portfolios, governance, and strategic transactions.
• Collaborate with our employment teams on cross-sector deals.

What We Offer

• Career growth: A clear path to Senior Associate for high performers, with opportunities to develop a niche in charity/social property law.
• Work-life balance: Flexible hours, remote working, and a supportive culture (no presenteeism).
• Financial rewards: Profit share scheme (paid annually, with clear metrics) + salary reviews.
• Purpose-driven work: Directly impact community organisations—clients you’ll feel proud to support.

Who We’re Looking For

• A qualified solicitor (England & Wales) with 1-5 years’ PQE in commercial property.
• Experience with charities/CIOs, religious bodies, or housing associations is a big plus—but we’ll also consider commercial lawyers eager to pivot into this space.
• Ambition to grow—whether into a specialist role, leadership, or a broader practice.
• Commercial mindset and client-facing confidence (you’ll manage key relationships).

Why PDA Law?

• No rigid hierarchy—your ideas shape your career.
• Culture matters: teamwork and work-life balance.
