• Leading, mentoring and developing the Commercial Property team
• Driving business development and strengthening client relationships
• Contributing to the ongoing growth and success of the department

About you

• Qualified Solicitor with 5+ years' PQE in Commercial Property
• Strong technical knowledge across a broad range of commercial property matters
• Previous leadership, mentoring, or supervisory experience, or the ambition to step into a leadership role
• Excellent communication and client relationship management skills
• A commercial approach with a genuine interest in developing both people and the department

What's on Offer?

• Genuine leadership opportunity with long-term career progression
• High-quality and varied commercial property work
