Job Description:

An established and well-regarded commercial law firm is seeking to strengthen its London Real Estate practice with the addition of an Associate or Senior Associate. This is a considered hire into a team with a strong market reputation, a broad client base, and a genuinely collaborative working environment. The practice advises a diverse range of clients including developers, investors, lenders and occupiers, and is regularly instructed on transactions of varying scale and complexity. The work is balanced and commercially focused, spanning acquisitions and disposals (including investment transactions and sale and leasebacks), landlord and tenant matters, and development work. There is also close interaction with colleagues across corporate, banking, construction and restructuring, offering a well-rounded platform for those looking to deepen their experience. The London team forms part of a wider national real estate group, giving access to additional expertise across planning, litigation and finance. Despite this scale, the team itself remains close-knit, with a supportive and collegiate culture where individuals are encouraged to take ownership of their work and contribute to the continued growth of the practice. This opportunity would suit a Solicitor with solid commercial property experience, particularly in landlord and tenant work, who is comfortable managing transactions and maintaining client relationships. There is scope to supervise junior colleagues and play an active role in business development, although the emphasis remains on sustainable, long-term progression rather than immediate expectations. The firm is known for its pragmatic and people-focused approach, offering flexible working arrangements and a comprehensive benefits package. More broadly, it provides a stable platform for Lawyers looking to build a credible and enduring career within a supportive environment. Applications are welcomed from those who can demonstrate strong technical grounding, sound judgement and a collaborative mindset.

Job Responsibility:

  • Advising a diverse range of clients including developers, investors, lenders and occupiers
  • handling acquisitions and disposals (including investment transactions and sale and leasebacks)
  • landlord and tenant matters
  • development work
  • supervising junior colleagues

Requirements:
