• The firm fosters a culture of empowerment, innovation, and progression, resulting in high staff retention and a distinctive working environment.

The Role:

• Joining a growing Commercial Property team well-connected across the South Coast and Sussex area.
• Handling high-quality commercial property work, including freehold and leasehold titles, drafting and negotiating contracts, acting for landlords and tenants, and managing acquisitions and disposals.
• Working within a supportive team environment with assistance from paralegals and legal secretaries.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Commercial Property Solicitor or Legal Executive with 3+ years PQE.
• Excellent communicator capable of expressing ideas clearly.
• Experience in residential property is advantageous but not essential.
