CRA Consulting has partnered exclusively with a fast-growing, technology-led bridging loan business operating across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. This innovative organisation is expanding their legal team and now seeks a talented In-House Commercial Property Solicitor to support its rapidly growing portfolio.

• Supporting the operational and credit teams with legal input on complex matters

Ideal Candidate

We're keen to hear from:

• Qualified Solicitors with 3+ years' PQE in Commercial Property
• Strong background in land transactions, finance-backed deals, or bridging/commercial lending
• A tech-savvy mindset and a desire to work in a fast-paced, modern environment

Location & Flexibility

• Based in Chesterfield with free on-site parking
• Close to rail and major transport links
• Hybrid working available (2-3 days per week in office)
