Job description

How would you like to join one of the leading commercial property teams in the region and play a part in the continuing success of the firm during a very exciting period of expansion?

You'll get the opportunity to work alongside one of the firm's Managing Partners, gaining exposure to top-quality commercial property work, including a mixed caseload of landlord and tenant, acquisitions and disposals, development, commercial leases, and property finance work.

Here at Farleys Solicitors, we've been practising legal common sense for over 65 years. Our roots are firmly based in Lancashire, having started our journey in Blackburn in 1958. We now have seven offices across Lancashire and Manchester, 180+ employees, and offer a full range of legal services for individuals and businesses.

Our reputation and growth are based on how our legal services are delivered—combining legal expertise with a down-to-earth approach and a focus on getting the job done for our clients.

With the backing and support of the Lawfront Group, we are seeing great opportunities to grow and meet our ambitions. We're looking to build on this with the addition of a Senior Solicitor/Associate to join our new office in Wigan.

We act for a wide range of business clients across the North West and nationally, with exceptional long-standing client relationships. As part of this role, you'll have the opportunity to participate in business development activities and play a part in mentoring and supervising junior colleagues.

Ideally, we're looking for someone with solid experience—over 5 years PQE in commercial property law. Importantly, you'll be entrepreneurial, proactive, and enjoy a culture that promotes looking after our clients in the right way and doing what is best for them. Our culture is also colleague-focused and supports a strong work/life balance.

We offer excellent long-term prospects to develop your career among friendly and supportive colleagues. This role is a great opportunity to be a key part of the continued success of our commercial property team and the firm as a whole.

What we can offer you in return:

• A competitive salary
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and an extra day to take on your birthday
• The opportunity to buy additional annual leave
• Private medical insurance
• Healthcare cash plan
• Income protection
• Life cover
• Plus, the opportunity to personalise your benefits via our portal to suit your lifestyle
