5,000+
lawyers with commercial leasing experience

Commercial leasing is a discipline that demands more than familiarity with property law. Practitioners work at the intersection of landlord and tenant strategy, lease structuring, rent review, alienation, and the granular negotiation of repairing obligations — work that exposes counsel to the operational realities of retailers, logistics operators, and institutional landlords in ways that broader real estate experience rarely does.

We have mapped 5,000+ lawyers with demonstrated commercial leasing experience across the full spectrum: partners who lead anchor-tenant transactions for major mixed-use schemes, associates who handle high-volume portfolio work for corporate occupiers, and in-house counsel embedded within asset management teams. The market is narrower than it appears — genuine leasing depth concentrates in fewer practitioners than hiring teams often expect.

Our search work is built on that map. When a firm needs a lawyer who can step into complex lease renegotiations or drive an occupier's national rollout programme from day one, we identify and approach the people who are already doing that work, not those who have touched it peripherally.

Commercial Leasing recruitment — common questions

How do you find commercial leasing lawyers who are not actively job-seeking?

Most strong leasing practitioners are not on job boards. We maintain a continuously refreshed map of 5,000+ lawyers with commercial leasing experience, built through direct relationship work rather than reactive sourcing. That means we can identify and approach the right candidates discreetly, without waiting for them to surface.

What makes commercial leasing recruitment different from broader real estate search?

Commercial leasing is a specialism within real estate with its own technical vocabulary: security of tenure, break clause strategy, service charge disputes, authorised guarantee agreements, and lease restructuring under financial stress. Assessing candidates requires understanding those distinctions, not just matching practice group labels. We evaluate leasing depth specifically, so our shortlists reflect real capability rather than adjacency.

Can you recruit commercial leasing counsel for an in-house team as well as private practice?

Yes. Our mapping covers both private practice and in-house markets. Companies that operate across large real estate portfolios — retailers, logistics groups, and institutional investors — often need dedicated leasing counsel who understand occupier-side risk. We recruit across both settings and can advise on how the candidate pool differs between them.
