Strong experience working on landlord‑side transactions from inception to completion. Confidence handling a high‑volume, varied caseload with minimal supervision. Strong commercial awareness and the ability to advise non‑legal stakeholders clearly and concisely. Previous experience supervising junior lawyers or contributing to the development of a team (or a genuine desire to step into that responsibility). Excellent organisational skills and the ability to build a robust, efficient in‑house property function. Why Join? A senior, influential position with the autonomy to design and grow the property legal department. Direct collaboration with senior management and involvement in strategic decision‑making. A stable, expanding group with a substantial property footprint. Opportunity to step away from the constraints of private practice and enjoy a more commercially integrated role. Competitive salary and long‑term progression opportunities within the group structure.
