Commercial Property Solicitor

G2 Legal Limited
Chelmsford, ENG, GB Full Time

Job Description

Commercial Property Solicitor

\n

£45,000–£55,000 DOE | Flexible/Hybrid Working

\n

You have qualified, built a solid foundation in commercial property and now need a firm that will let you develop, rather than keeping you permanently attached to someone else’s files.

\n

A modern and expanding Essex practice is looking for a Commercial Property Solicitor with around 1–2+ years’ PQE. An experienced commercial-property paralegal who can demonstrate comparable ability will also be considered at an appropriate salary level.

\n

What’s in it for you?

\n
    \n
  • £45,000–£55,000 for qualified applicants
  • \n
  • Flexible and hybrid working
  • \n
  • 26 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
  • \n
  • The office closes between Christmas and New Year
  • \n
  • Pension scheme and Medicash health cash plan
  • \n
  • Professional training and development
  • \n
  • Discounted parking
  • \n
  • Regular team get-togethers
  • \n
  • Genuine scope to progress quickly as the department grows
  • \n
  • A reportedly unreasonable quantity of office cake
  • \n
\n

The role

\n

You will manage a varied commercial-property caseload while working closely with experienced colleagues. Matters will include:

\n
    \n
  • Commercial property acquisitions and disposals
  • \n
  • Landlord and tenant leases
  • \n
  • Lease assignments and surrenders
  • \n
  • SIPP purchases and leasebacks
  • \n
  • Option agreements for owners and developers
  • \n
  • Residential lease extensions and collective enfranchisement
  • \n
  • Building new relationships within the local commercial market
  • \n
  • Supporting departmental growth and wider business-development activity
  • \n
\n

You

\n

You will ideally be a solicitor with 1–2+ years’ PQE and practical commercial-property experience.

\n

Alternatively, you may be an experienced paralegal who can demonstrate strong technical knowledge and the ability to manage work with appropriate supervision.

\n

You will also need:

\n
    \n
  • Clear and confident communication skills
  • \n
  • Strong organisation and attention to detail
  • \n
  • A proactive approach to client relationships
  • \n
  • High professional and ethical standards
  • \n
  • The ambition to take ownership of your development
  • \n
  • A positive, team-focused attitude
  • \n
\n

The firm has grown quickly without losing its personality. This is a good opening for someone who wants proper responsibility, approachable colleagues and visible career development.
