Job Type

A new vacancy has arisen with a medium sized Surrey law firm looking for a commercial property solicitor to become their head of department. They are a well-established, niche law firm with a national reputation and client base, which drives their revenue growth. The practice specialises in a specific sector acting for professionals and the role would suit a senior solicitor looking to partly focus on management.

Your key responsibility would be to ensure that the firm is developing and maintaining excellent client relationships by delivering highest quality legal services, and you would be working as part of the senior management team. You will ideally be a commercial property solicitor with some corporate/commercial experience (the latter is not essential), and you can expect to spend about 30% of your time on billable work with the remainder on law firm management.

Full time role with 3 days per week in the office required and up to 2 days remote, although you can be fully office based if preferred for 5 days a week - the offices are in a very nice location.

Great opportunity to develop law firm management skills, become part of a successful operation and establish yourself in a senior role within a rapidly expanding business. The firm are looking for someone who has previous management experience, strong process-driven and legal control credentials, and is a self-starter. You will be able to demonstrate experience of building strong relationships with fellow professionals (both clients and colleagues); an ability to organise, improve and control systems and processes; strong commercial skills; strong practical problem-solving abilities.

You may currently be employed in private practice or in-house.
