Senior Commercial & Residential Property Solicitor | Clear Path to Directorship
Salary: £60, % Fee Share
Location: Central London 
Are you an ambitious property solicitor ready to take the next step in your career with a firm that truly rewards your success? Our client, a well-established Central London practice, is offering an exceptional opportunity that combines a competitive base salary with genuine profit participation and a clear progression route to Director level.
About the Opportunity
This is not your typical property role. Our client is seeking a Senior Associate level solicitor (5-8 years PQE) who wants more than just a job—they want a genuine stake in their future. With a 20% fee share on billings, your hard work directly translates into financial reward, whilst the structured pathway to Directorship means you'll be building a long-term career, not just filling a position.
 
You'll handle a diverse and high-quality caseload spanning both commercial and residential property matters, working with established clients whilst having the autonomy to develop your own practice area and client relationships.
What You'll Be Doing
Commercial Property Work:
  • Acquisitions and disposals of freehold and leasehold commercial properties
  • Commercial lease negotiations for landlords and tenants
  • Property finance transactions and refinancing matters
  • Development agreements and option agreements
  • Portfolio management for commercial clients
Residential Property Work:
  • High-value residential conveyancing transactions
  • Leasehold enfranchisement and lease extensions
  • New build developments and off-plan purchases
  • Buy-to-let portfolio acquisitions
  • Residential landlord and tenant matters
What We're Looking For
Essential Requirements:
  • 5-8 years PQE in commercial and residential property law
  • Qualified Solicitor in England & Wales
  • Proven ability to manage a mixed caseload independently
  • Strong technical knowledge across both commercial and residential property transactions
  • Excellent client care skills with demonstrable experience building client relationships
  • Commercial awareness and business development mindset
  • Ability to supervise and mentor junior team members
Desirable Skills:
  • Experience with property development matters
  • Established client following or demonstrable track record in business development
  • Experience with high-net-worth individuals or commercial clients
  • Knowledge of property finance and secured lending
What's On Offer
Financial Package:
  • Base salary: £60,000
  • 20% fee share on your billings – your success directly benefits you
  • Genuine profit participation, not just commission
Career Progression:
  • Clear pathway to Director level with structured progression plan
  • Mentoring and development support to grow into a leadership role
  • Opportunity to build and shape your own practice area
  • Long-term partnership potential for the right candidate
Working Environment:
  • Central London location with excellent transport links
  • Hybrid working arrangements available
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Modern case management systems and technology
  • Autonomy to manage your own caseload and client relationships
Professional Development:
  • Ongoing training and CPD support
  • Mentorship from senior leadership
  • Exposure to high-quality, complex matters
  • Opportunity to develop specialist expertise

They pride themselves on providing exceptional client service whilst maintaining a supportive and progressive working environment. This role has been created as part of their strategic growth plans, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to become a key figure in the firm's future.
