Head of Commercial Property & Senior Solicitor 7+ years PQE l Bristol


The firm:


With over 50 years of providing trusted and quality-driven legal services to individuals and businesses in Bristol and the South West, the firm is deeply attuned to the community’s needs, offering expert legal advice and support.


The firm’s commitment to quality has established an exemplary reputation, setting the standard for holistic legal services. This dedication has fostered long-standing client relationships and sustained growth, largely driven by word-of-mouth and the distinguished reputation of its talented lawyers.


The firm prides itself on its commitment to ongoing development, with numerous Partners and lawyers having advanced from support roles to leadership positions. This progression reflects the firm’s dedication to nurturing talent within an open, collaborative environment that emphasises continuous professional growth.


Operating from two vibrant offices in Bristol, the firm ensures all fee earners receive sufficient one-on-one secretarial support. This structure allows lawyers the freedom to think creatively, tailor their practice, and cultivate their reputations and expertise.


The role:


Are you a senior Commercial Property Solicitor with at least 7+ years PQE and looking for a Head of Department role with a clear and defined timescale to reach Partnership? If so, this firm in Bristol would like to hear from you.


This role has arisen in line with succession planning for a senior Partner who will be retiring in the next 2 years. As such, they are looking to bring in a Head of Department who, after a period of bedding in, will take over the reins of the department and become a Partner in their place.


You may already have a client following and/or a book of contacts, but what makes this opportunity so appealing is the existing flow of work ready to be handed over together with an abundance of cross-referral work to be properly capitalised on. Therefore, for the right person, there is a bright and lucrative future to be had at this firm.


Aside from fee-earning and leading on transactions, they’re looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who can deepen existing relationships and diversify new ones. You’ll also show leadership qualities and have a say in the strategic direction of the practice whilst supporting juniors with their development.


This is a pivotal moment in the firm’s journey, and they’re looking for an ambitious leader who wants to be a key part of the next phase of their journey.
