This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor to join a collaborative and well-established team in Macclesfield.

• Comfortable generating new work and maintaining referrer relationships
• Excellent time management and organisational skills
• Supervisory experience (desired)
• Experience acting for SMEs, investors and corporate clients (desired)
• Detail-focused, collaborative and calm under pressure

What you’ll be doing

• Manage your own caseload across commercial sales/purchases, leases, renewals and assignments
• Handle bank funding and pension fund property work
• Ensure full file compliance in line with Lexcel and SRA standards
• Generate fee income and maintain accurate time recording, billing and WIP
• Supervise and mentor junior colleagues where required
• Attend clients, maintain relationships and contribute to business development
• Participate in marketing initiatives, events and networking
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the wider property team

• £60,000–£72,000
• Firm-wide bonus
• Long-established firm with strong financial performance
