What You’ll Be Doing

• Advising on a wide range of commercial property transactions, including investment, development, and landlord and tenant work
• Drafting and negotiating key documentation with a focus on precision and commerciality
• Supporting on cross-border matters involving institutional investors, developers, and corporate occupiers
• Managing transactions from start to finish with minimal supervision

What We’re Looking For

• UK-qualified solicitor with 4+ years’ post-qualification experience in commercial property
• Strong grounding in investment and development work, ideally gained at a leading City or US/international firm
• Excellent drafting skills and a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative, high-performing team
• Availability to start at short notice

Why Apply?

• Join a firm with a stellar reputation in the real estate sector, ranked highly in Legal 500 and Chambers UK
• Work alongside a senior partner known for leading on some of the most sophisticated property deals in the market
• Gain exposure to top-tier clients and complex, high-value transactions
• Enjoy a dynamic, inclusive culture that values initiative and excellence
