Looking for a firm that actually gets you? Somewhere modern, supportive and genuinely invested in your career, not just your billing targets?

You’ve found it.

We’re looking for a Commercial Property Fee Earner to join our friendly, forward-thinking team on a fixed-term basis, with the exciting possibility of something longer-term for the right person.

If you’re motivated, positive and ready to make your mark in a firm that values people as much as performance then keep reading.

The Role

• Landlord & tenant matters
• Commercial leases
• Refinancing and secured lending
• Development work and plot sales (where applicable)

• Client liaison from instruction through to completion

You’ll have autonomy over your files but never feel like you’re on your own. Support is always there when you need it.

What We’re Looking For

We’re open on qualification route. What matters most is your experience, attitude and team fit.

You’ll likely be:

• A Commercial Property Fee Earner/Solicitor/Legal Executive/Licensed Conveyancer
• Experienced in managing your own caseload
• Commercially aware with strong client care skills
• Organised, proactive, and solutions-focused
• A team player who enjoys a positive office culture
