Job description

We’re working with an established and highly regarded law firm in Greater Manchester that is looking to appoint an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor at 8+ PQE.

This is a great opportunity for a technically strong commercial property lawyer who enjoys high-quality fee-earning work, client contact and supporting more junior members of a team, without necessarily wanting the pressures of formal departmental management.

The Opportunity

You’ll join an established Property team handling a broad range of commercial property matters, with a particular focus on:

• Landlord and tenant work, including leases and renewals

• Commercial property sales and acquisitions

• Advising a varied client base on complex property matters

• Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers

• Providing technical guidance and support across the team

• Developing strong, long-term client relationships

The team already has a strong leadership structure in place, so the role is particularly well suited to someone who wants to remain hands-on with the legal work while taking on a senior and supervisory role.

About You

We’re keen to hear from Commercial Property Solicitors with:

• 8+ years' PQE and strong commercial property experience

• A solid background across landlord and tenant and transactional work

• Excellent technical and client management skills

• Experience supervising or mentoring junior colleagues

• A commercial and pragmatic approach

• The ability to build strong relationships with clients and referrers

You don’t need to have a following to be considered, although an established network of clients or referrers would be welcomed.

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to join a growing and supportive team where you can take on a senior position without being pushed away from the fee-earning work you enjoy.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on varied, high-quality commercial property matters, support junior lawyers and play an important role in the continued development of the team.
