Commercial Property Solicitor

Greater London – £65,000 - £90,000

North London | Hybrid | West End Salary + Bonus 
 
I'm working with a well-regarded London law firm that's continuing to grow its property offering following a recent strategic expansion.
 
They're now looking to hire a Commercial Property Solicitor (2-6 PQE) into a collaborative, high-performing team with strong exposure to investor and lender-led work.
 
The Role
This is a broad commercial property position with a strong leaning towards secured lending and investor-driven transactions.
 
You'll work across:
  • Commercial acquisitions and disposals
  • Secured lending (acting for lenders and borrowers)
  • Portfolio management for property investors
  • Development and finance-linked transactions
The work is consistent, relationship-driven, and offers real client exposure early on.
 
Why This Role Stands Out
  • West End-level salary without City firm pressure
  • No rigid billing culture - output over timesheets
  • Strong partner visibility and hands-on development
  • Collaborative, non-hierarchical team (no silos)
  • Genuine opportunity to progress and build client relationships
What They're Looking For
  • 2-6 PQE Commercial Property Solicitor
  • Experience in:
    • Commercial property transactions and/or
    • Secured lending / real estate finance
  • Confident handling matters with some autonomy
  • Strong client skills and a team-focused mindset
This is a culture-led hire—personality and approach matter just as much as experience.
 
Location
 
Based in North London with hybrid working (2 days from home).
 
This role suits candidates who are comfortable commuting to North London.
 
Package
  • West End Competitive
  • Bonus
  • Private medical
  • Additional incentives for business development
 
If you're looking for a commercial property role with strong work, real progression, and a healthier culture, this is worth exploring.
 
Feel free to reach out for a confidential chat.
