The Role:

This is a rare opportunity for a talented Commercial Property Associate (1+ years PQE) to join a leading Real Estate team in Southampton. You'll play an integral role in advising a prestigious range of clients, including commercial and residential developers, investors, major retailers, public sector bodies, charities, and private landowners. The work will be varied and high-profile, offering you the chance to handle complex, high-value transactions from day one.

This position is ideal for a driven lawyer who is eager to take on significant responsibility, build a reputation within the firm, and contribute to its continued success.

• High-Impact Work: You’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of commercial property matters, including large-scale developments, acquisitions, disposals, and leasing arrangements.
• Prestigious Clientele: Work with high-profile clients across diverse sectors, from established developers to government bodies and top-tier investors.
• National Network & Industry Connections: Benefit from the firm’s expansive national reach and leading industry connections, enabling you to grow your practice and professional network.
• Immediate Impact: With a clear path for career progression, you’ll have the autonomy to make substantial contributions and shape your career from the outset.

The Ideal Candidate:

• A Commercial Property Associate with at least 1 year of PQE in a similar role.
• A strong commercial mindset, client-focused approach, and a passion for delivering outstanding results.
• Ideally, experience or an interest in telecoms law, although this is not essential.
• Proven ability to contribute to business development, with a strong commercial awareness and a proactive approach to building the firm’s profile.

What’s on Offer:

• Competitive Salary: Reflective of your experience, with a generous benefits package.
• Exposure to Top-Tier Work: Work alongside some of the UK's leading commercial property lawyers and gain exposure to high-value, complex matters.
• Professional Growth: A varied caseload that offers the autonomy to take ownership of projects and develop your expertise.
• Work-Life Balance: A flexible, supportive working environment where personal well-being is a priority.
