Join a growing London commercial real estate team handling the full spectrum of commercial property matters, including acquisitions, disposals, lettings, asset management and mixed-use projects. The role offers regular exposure to complex transactions and a collaborative, commercially focused environment.

This is a hands-on role within a supportive team that values technical excellence, commercial judgment and contribution to business development and client care.

  • 5-6 years' post-qualification experience in commercial real estate law.
  • Experience advising on acquisitions, disposals, landlord & tenant matters, due diligence and reporting—ideally from a national/regional firm or similar practice.
  • Familiarity with real estate finance, security arrangements and transaction funding structures.
  • Strong technical skills with commercial problem-solving and the ability to handle complex issues.
  • Proven ability to manage transactions, supervise junior colleagues and act as day-to-day client contact.
  • Business development experience and a client-focused approach to relationship management.
  • Excellent organisation, attention to detail and ability to work under pressure to tight deadlines.
