A highly respected Legal 500 firm in Birmingham is seeking an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor to join their well-established team in 2025. This is a unique opportunity for a senior lawyer ready to take the next step in their career – with a view to leading the Birmingham City team in the near future.

The role is suited to someone with both the technical excellence and the leadership drive to shape the direction of a thriving Commercial Property department.

The Role:

As a senior member of the team (Senior Associate or Salaried Partner level, depending on experience), you will take on a varied caseload of commercial property matters including:

• Drafting, negotiating and completing commercial leases, licences, and agreements for lease

• Acting in the acquisition and disposal of commercial property for SMEs and investors

• Advising lenders and dealing with secured lending and property finance

• Handling insolvency-related property matters (acting for liquidators, administrators, and receivers)

• Collaborating with the corporate team on M&A transactions and carrying out full property due diligence

• Providing strategic legal advice on property elements of corporate restructuring and deals

Leadership & Development:

This role offers a significant platform for a solicitor who enjoys mentoring and managing junior team members, with monthly supervision meetings and support for their professional development. You’ll also contribute to strategic planning and business development, and be instrumental in the department’s Legal 500 submissions.

About You:

We’re looking for a solicitor who is not only a skilled technician but also a proactive leader and relationship builder. The ideal candidate will have:

• A minimum of 8 years’ PQE in commercial property law

• Experience supervising and mentoring junior solicitors

• A strong track record of business development and client relationship management

• Excellent technical and drafting skills, along with a commercial approach

• A desire to lead and grow a team in a firm where your voice will be heard

Hybrid & Flexible Working:

The firm offers hybrid working arrangements and is open to discussing flexible hours. While based in Birmingham city centre, occasional travel to another local office may be required to support collaboration across teams.

Next Steps:

This is a standout opportunity to take on a senior role with leadership prospects at a recognised Legal 500 firm without needing to compromise on work-life balance or autonomy. If you’re ready to take the reins and lead a respected Commercial Property team into its next chapter, we’d love to hear from you.
