The Role:
This is a rare opportunity for a talented Commercial Property Associate (1+ years PQE) to join a leading Real Estate team in Southampton. You'll play an integral role in advising a prestigious range of clients, including commercial and residential developers, investors, major retailers, public sector bodies, charities, and private landowners. The work will be varied and high-profile, offering you the chance to handle complex, high-value transactions from day one.
This position is ideal for a driven lawyer who is eager to take on significant responsibility, build a reputation within the firm, and contribute to its continued success.

* Prestigious Clientele: Work with high-profile clients across diverse sectors, from established developers to government bodies and top-tier investors.
* National Network & Industry Connections: Benefit from the firm’s expansive national reach and leading industry connections, enabling you to grow your practice and professional network.
* Immediate Impact: With a clear path for career progression, you’ll have the autonomy to make substantial contributions and shape your career from the outset.
The Ideal Candidate:
* A Commercial Property Associate with at least 1 year of PQE in a similar role.
* A strong commercial mindset, client-focused approach, and a passion for delivering outstanding results.
