Job Description:

Commercial Property Lawyer/Head of Department 6+ PQE

Surrey

Salary £60,000+

Are you a seasoned Commercial Property Solicitor (6+ years PQE) who's ready to take the reins, lead a team, and still have time for a decent cup of coffee? A growing, modern law firm in Farnham is on the lookout for someone just like you.

About the Firm:

A well-regarded, SME law firm with a dynamic team and a friendly, approachable culture. They like their legal advice sharp and office banter sharper (but still HR-approved). With modern case management systems and a refreshing lack of red tape, They believe in getting things done efficiently with a smile.

The Role:

You'll be steering the ship (no actual sailing experience required) across a wide range of property matters including:

• Landlord & tenant
• Sales and acquisitions

You'll also be supervising a capable team, which includes a newly qualified solicitor whos eager to learn and secretarial support that keeps things running smoother than your average espresso machine.

You'll work closely with the Partners and enjoy a mix of home and office working.

What Were Looking For:

• A qualified Solicitor with 6+ years PQE in Commercial Property
• A calm, confident file-juggler with serious legal chops
• Leadership experience if you've herded cats (or solicitors), you're on the right track
• Someone who can bring both gravitas and good humour to the team
• Detail-oriented and ambitious bonus points if you enjoy a good spreadsheet or strong pun

What's in It for You (besides the satisfaction of a well-drafted lease):

• 28 days holiday for the Head of Department, 25 days for fee earners, plus bank holidays and a festive bonus break at Christmas
• Private medical insurance because paper cuts are real
• Discretionary performance bonus based on results, not hours logged
• Death in Service a perk you hopefully won't need any time soon
• Pension contributions and onsite parking
• Hybrid working finally put your home office to good use

Location: Surrey (home of good pubs, leafy walks, and now, your next career move)

This isn't just another job ad it's your chance to step into a leadership role where your expertise will be valued, your growth supported, and your lunch break protected.

Apply confidentially and lets have a proper conversation. Bonus points if your CV includes both achievements and a favourite biscuit.
