Commercial Property Solicitor

South Wales | 2+ PQE | Hybrid

Yolk Legal is working with an established and growing South Wales law firm that is looking to appoint a Commercial Property Solicitor with 2+ years' PQE.

This is an opportunity for a solicitor who wants more than just a transactional role. You'll join a developing commercial property team, work with a varied client base and have the opportunity to build relationships, take ownership of matters and develop your career.

The Role

You'll handle a broad range of commercial property work for a varied client base, including businesses, developers, investors, landlords, tenants and corporate clients.

Your caseload will include:

• Commercial property acquisitions and disposals
• Freehold and leasehold transactions
• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial leases
• Landlord and tenant matters
• Assignments, underlettings, renewals, licences and variations
• Property development and investment work
• Property finance and security matters
• Easements, covenants, overage and associated title work

You'll also have the opportunity to develop direct client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the department.

We're looking for a qualified solicitor with 2+ years' PQE in commercial property who is confident handling a varied caseload.

You'll ideally have:

• Solid experience across commercial property transactions
• Good knowledge of commercial leases and freehold matters
• Strong drafting and negotiation skills
• A commercial and client-focused approach
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and professional advisers
• The ability to manage your own workload and competing deadlines
• A genuine interest in developing your career within commercial property

You don't need to be looking for partnership or management responsibility tomorrow - but you should be ambitious, proactive and keen to make your mark within a growing team.

What's On Offer?

The successful candidate will benefit from:

• Hybrid / remote working arrangements
• Competitive salary based on experience
• Performance-based bonus scheme
• 25 days' annual leave plus Bank Holidays
• Your birthday off
• A varied commercial property caseload
• The opportunity to develop your own client relationships and referral network
• Career progression within a growing department

Why This Role?

This could suit a Commercial Property Solicitor who has built a solid foundation and is now looking for greater responsibility, broader exposure and the chance to develop their own client profile.

You'll be joining a team with continued growth ambitions, giving you the opportunity to play a meaningful part in its future development.
