Commercial Property Solicitor

A successful Commercial Property team in Leeds City Centre with a national reputation is looking to expand and therefore requires a skilled Commercial Property Solicitor to join them. Our client is a highly regarded law firm handling both national and local work of a very good standard, much of it for household named clients. Working in modern, open plan offices, they can offer you a friendly and supportive working environment where every effort will be made to support your career development.

The firm is dedicated to quality client relationships and is seeking an individual with commercial acumen who will strive to maintain the firm's high quality. Importantly they have a reputation for progressing people at the rate that they are capable of being progressed and there are lots of examples of people really fast tracking their career here, your pace of development can largely be dictated by you rather than the firm's structure.

The Commercial Property team has recently seen an influx of high-quality work and needs to recruit to help service this, the work has both come via an upturn in existing clients and some new client wins. They are looking for someone with the skills to be able to hit the ground running with an existing caseload under minimum supervision, c 1-5 years PQE would be ideal but they are flexible as it's the experience and attitude that are most important to them.

The work available has a particular focus on landlord and tenant matters, involving some complex transactions for the team's national client base which consists of some really well-known major clients. Having said that, you would be able to access a varied workload and if there are areas of particular interest, they are more than likely to be able to accommodate these by moving work around the team. The team is well supported by other departments in the firm such as construction and the property disputes team, giving you and them the ability to deliver at the highest level to clients.

Someone who is a strong communicator and who is able to build and maintain client relationships would fit in really well. In return you will benefit from a competitive salary and the opportunity to really get stuck into some top-quality work for some fantastic clients in a very supportive environment. They are genuinely concerned that people are doing the right work, have the right support and that the work is shared around the department, avoiding people having too much or too little work wherever possible as they understand that neither state is particularly comfortable.

This is a great opportunity to join a forward-thinking, supportive, legal firm and develop your career even further.
