Job description

What sets this role apart

We are seeking an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor to act as the principal in-house legal adviser across our diverse property portfolio.

You will oversee the full spectrum of non-contentious commercial property work, instruct and manage external counsel where appropriate, and work closely with the Estates team. Unlike private practice, this role allows you to build long-term relationships with tenants and stakeholders, developing a deep understanding of the portfolio rather than moving between individual client matters.

For a solicitor looking to apply strong technical expertise within a dynamic, growth-focused business, this role offers genuine scope, seniority and variety, together with the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting contribution.

About you

• A qualified solicitor with a minimum of four years’ PQE in commercial property; some residential experience would be advantageous.
• Technically strong and commercially astute, with the confidence to advise senior stakeholders clearly and pragmatically.
• A proactive self-starter who takes ownership of a varied caseload and manages matters independently and efficiently.
• Collaborative and approachable, with the ability to build trusted relationships across a close-knit, high-performing team.
• Comfortable working across a wide range of matters, including leases, licences, surrenders, statutory notices, SDLT and Land Registry applications.

What you will enjoy as part of the team

Legal leadership with impact — a trusted role advising senior leadership and helping shape the future of a high-quality property portfolio.

Strong foundations — a financially secure, privately owned business with a long-term outlook and an established track record.

Competitive rewards — an attractive salary, discretionary bonus scheme of up to 15% of annual salary, BUPA private healthcare, pension via salary exchange and life assurance.

Excellent working environment — modern offices in Beaconsfield Old Town with excellent local amenities, convenient road links just off the M40, and a 10-minute walk to the train station.

Generous leave — 25 days’ annual leave, rising to 30 days with length of service.

Wellbeing support — on-demand GP service, free weekly fitness sessions, discounted gym membership, cycle-to-work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Sociable culture — a welcoming and collaborative team with regular social events throughout the year.

If you are ready to bring your commercial property expertise in-house, take real ownership of your work and contribute to a business that genuinely values its people, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please apply with your CV.
