Working closely with partners across multiple offices, you'll have the opportunity to develop your technical expertise, take ownership of transactions, and play a key role in high-value deals.

This role will suit a newly qualified solicitor up to around 2 years' PQE, with experience in commercial real estate gained at a leading regional or City firm.

• Structured career development with mentoring and training from senior lawyers
• Inclusive culture with genuine flexibility and support for work-life balance
• Competitive salary and benefits package

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a firm consistently ranked among the UK's top employers, known for its collaborative culture, ambition, and commitment to professional excellence.

Applications are encouraged as soon as possible, as the firm may close the vacancy early depending on response levels.
