Clients vary in size from individuals and family companies to UK subsidiaries of multinational and offshore companies.
This role will suit a senior solicitor 5+ PQE seeking a part-time and flexible role on a 12-month contract as Maternity Cover. The work will be a broad mixture of commercial property matters including:

The practice has the experience and ability to deal with high-value commercial property work and has clients with substantial property portfolios. Any candidate is expected to have the intellectual ability to tackle a wide range of work and the interest and willingness to explore and develop new skills.
The candidate should have significant experience in commercial property law and be able to manage a wide range of commercial property transactions independently. We seek a person with excellent negotiation, drafting, and communication skills, the ability to build long-term client relationships, and who can work under pressure to meet deadlines and manage competing priorities.

The role has arisen as our Associate is going on maternity leave at the end of March 2025, and the candidate should be available to start early or mid-March. The practice is expanding, and there is a good possibility of the position becoming permanent.
Our offices are in a modern air-conditioned building with on-site parking, located in a business park overlooking woodlands. Several industrial estates are nearby.
Salary and benefits will be competitive and in line with experience.
