Commercial Property Solicitor
- Join a growing commercial property team with a long-term strategy
- Hybrid working with home office equipment provided and genuine progression to Associate Director level
- People-first culture with quality work, sensible expectations and no corporate ego
This Commercial Property role is based in Liverpool and offers the chance to join a firm that’s growing quickly without losing its identity.
You’ll step into an established commercial property offering handling a broad spread of regional real estate work, including acquisitions, disposals, landlord & tenant matters and refinancing, with the autonomy to run your own files from day one. The work is varied, commercially focused and well-supported by a wider full-service firm that generates strong internal referrals.
In your first 6–12 months, you’ll become a key fee earner within the team, building relationships across departments and contributing to the continued growth of the commercial property function following recent expansion. Over time, there’s clear scope to progress into Associate or Associate Director level, with opportunities to influence best practice, mentor junior lawyers and play a role in the team’s wider direction.
The culture is collaborative, inclusive and refreshingly down-to-earth. Despite the scale and backing behind the business, the environment still feels people-focused, with an emphasis on sustainability, teamwork and long-term careers rather than burnout or politics.
