Job description

JOB TITLE: Commercial Property Solicitor

PQE: 5+

LOCATION: Northampton

SALARY: £Competitive

A highly rated and forward-thinking law firm is looking to strengthen its successful Commercial Property team with the appointment of an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor with 5+ years’ PQE.

This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor who is looking to join a supportive and friendly practice, take responsibility for a varied caseload and continue developing their career within an established and growing commercial property team.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Joining an expanding commercial property team, you will have the opportunity to manage your own caseload and work across a broad range of commercial property matters. The role will involve advising clients on a variety of transactions, including:

• Freehold and leasehold acquisitions and disposals
• Strategic property matters
• Landlord and tenant work
• Commercial development
• Residential development
• A varied range of general commercial property transactions

You will be given the opportunity to work on a diverse caseload, providing commercially focused advice and developing strong relationships with clients and other professional contacts. The successful candidate will have experience managing their own caseload and will be comfortable handling transactions with an appropriate level of autonomy, while also benefiting from the support of an established and collaborative team.

THE CANDIDATE:

The appointed Commercial Property Solicitor will have at least 5 years' PQE and demonstrable experience across a broad range of commercial property work.

You will have experience in:

• Commercial property acquisitions and disposals
• Both freehold and leasehold transactions
• Landlord and tenant matters
• Residential and commercial development work
• Managing your own caseload from instruction through to completion
• Providing practical and commercially focused advice to clients

This opportunity would suit a solicitor who is keen to join a firm where they can establish themselves for the long term, develop their expertise and play an important role in the continued growth of the Commercial Property team.

You will need to be confident dealing with clients and managing competing priorities, while maintaining a high standard of service and attention to detail.

WHY CONSIDER THIS ROLE?

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor looking for the next step in their career with a progressive and forward-thinking firm. The firm is continuing to grow its Commercial Property offering and is looking for an individual who can contribute to that ongoing success. You will be joining a highly rated team with the opportunity to work on a varied and diverse caseload rather than focusing on one area of commercial property. The firm places emphasis on providing a supportive and friendly working environment, allowing its lawyers to develop their careers while maintaining a strong work/life balance. Hybrid working is available, providing additional flexibility alongside the opportunity to work within a successful and expanding legal practice.

THE FIRM:

This leading Legal 500-rated law firm has an established reputation and a progressive approach to its continued development. The Commercial Property team is going from strength to strength, making this an exciting time to join. The firm offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced legal professionals while taking an active role in a growing practice. For a Solicitor seeking a position where they can handle a broad and interesting caseload, build their client relationships and continue progressing their career within a supportive environment, this role offers an excellent platform to do so.
