Kettering, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom Hawthorne-Finch Talent Solutions Full time £40,000 - £65,000 per year

Job Description
Commercial Property Solicitor | 1-3 Years' PQE
Location: Kettering Area
Salary: Up to £65,000
Build Your Commercial Property Career with a Leading Northamptonshire Firm
Our client, a well-established legal practice with a strong commercial property offering across Northamptonshire, is seeking an ambitious Commercial Property Solicitor to join their growing team in Kettering. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior to mid-level property lawyer to develop their technical skills, manage a varied caseload, and work on high-quality commercial property transactions.
 
With expert supervision, genuine career progression opportunities, and exposure to a diverse range of commercial property work, this role offers the perfect environment for an ambitious property solicitor to accelerate their career development.
About the Role
As a Commercial Property Solicitor, you'll manage your own caseload of commercial property matters whilst receiving support and supervision from experienced partners and senior solicitors. You'll work on a broad range of transactions for commercial clients, from SMEs to larger corporate organisations, gaining valuable experience across all aspects of commercial property law.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for a property solicitor looking to develop their expertise in a supportive, quality-focused environment with clear progression pathways.
Your Caseload Will Include
  • Commercial Property Sales & Acquisitions – Acting for buyers and sellers on freehold and leasehold transactions
  • Commercial Leases – Drafting and negotiating leases for landlords and tenants across retail, office, and industrial sectors
  • Property Finance – Supporting clients with secured lending and refinancing transactions
  • Development & Planning – Advising on development agreements, option agreements, and planning matters
  • Property Portfolio Management – Assisting clients with ongoing property management and compliance
  • Landlord & Tenant Matters – Lease renewals, rent reviews, assignments, and subletting
  • Due Diligence – Conducting title investigations and property searches for corporate transactions
What We're Looking For
Essential Requirements:
  • Qualified Solicitor with a current practising certificate
  • 1-3 years' PQE in commercial property law within a UK legal practice
  • Solid technical foundation across commercial property transactions and leases
  • Strong drafting and negotiation skills with attention to detail
  • Excellent client care abilities – able to communicate complex legal matters clearly
  • Proactive and organised – capable of managing multiple transactions simultaneously
  • Team player with a willingness to learn and develop
Desirable:
  • Experience with development work or property finance
  • Knowledge of agricultural property or residential development
  • Exposure to landlord and tenant disputes or property litigation
  • Ambition to progress to senior associate or partnership level
What's on Offer
  • Competitive Salary: Up to £65,000 (dependent on experience and PQE level)
  • Career Progression: Clear pathway to senior associate and beyond with structured development
  • Quality Work: Exposure to diverse, high-quality commercial property transactions
  • Expert Supervision: Learn from experienced partners and senior solicitors
  • Professional Development: Support for CPD, training courses, and technical skills development
  • Varied Client Base: Work with SMEs, corporate clients, developers, and landlords
  • Collaborative Environment: Join a supportive, quality-focused property team
  • Established Reputation: Work for a firm with a strong presence across Northamptonshire
  • Modern Office Facilities: Based in well-equipped Kettering offices with excellent transport links
Location & Working Arrangements
Location: Kettering, Northamptonshire
Office-Based Role: Servicing clients across the region
Working Hours: Full-time (flexible arrangements may be considered for the right candidate)
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role offers the perfect balance of autonomy and support for an ambitious commercial property solicitor. You'll have the opportunity to run your own matters whilst benefiting from expert guidance, varied work, and genuine career development in a firm that invests in its people.
 
Whether you're looking to consolidate your skills at 1-2 years' PQE or ready to take on more complex matters at 3 years' PQE, this role provides the platform and support to accelerate your commercial property career.
