Commercial Property Solicitor

Bristol – £50,000 - £70,000

I’m currently recruiting for a Head of Commercial Property/Senior Associate Solicitor on behalf of a well-regarded law firm based on Bristol, offering the chance to take on a leadership role with a clear path to potential directorship.

In this role, you'll step into an existing caseload and lead a small but experienced team, including an associate solicitor, trainee solicitor, and paralegal. You'll be supported by senior solicitors and work closely with a director. The work will focus on a variety of commercial property matters, from land and building acquisitions to Landlord and Tenant lease transactions, with the opportunity to support corporate and litigation teams as well.

What’s on offer?

• Leadership role – A chance to help grow the department, mentor junior members, and be involved in business development. You’ll play a key part in shaping the future of the firm’s commercial property practice. 
• Flexibility – While this is a full-time role, there’s flexibility and a hybrid working model of 3 days in the office, 2 remote.
• Supportive environment – The firm is known for its excellent client relationships, low staff turnover, and a trusting, ambitious work environment where you’ll be encouraged to grow.
• Competitive package – A top-end salary of £70k, plus bonuses, reflecting your experience and contributions.

My client is looking for someone with at least 7 years' qualified experience in commercial property law, who is ready to take on a leadership role. Ideally, you’ll have either led a smaller team within a larger firm or be looking to join a smaller, more agile outfit where you can make an impact. Strong communication, client relationship management, and project management skills are essential.
