Job Description
Senior Associate, Special Counsel or Partner – Commercial Property & Commercial
If you’re a senior lawyer who’s ready to lead, not just bill, this one is worth your time.
This firm is in growth mode, with strong workflow, repeat clients, and a substantial existing commercial property and commercial practice ready for a senior operator to take the reins.
This is
not
a rebuild.
This is stepping into something that already works and making it better.
The opportunity
You’ll take responsibility for an established commercial property and commercial practice, leading both the work and the people.
The mix includes:
Commercial property transactions and leasing
Business and share sales
Commercial advisory and governance work
Core agreements supporting client operations
Property and commercial work overlap daily, so this suits someone who is comfortable operating across both without blinking.
You’ll also lead a small team (Associate, consultant, paralegal), setting standards, mentoring, and keeping matters moving properly.
Who this is for
Strong property background with commercial depth, or vice versa
Comfortable running transactions end-to-end
Confident leading people, not just files
Commercially minded, client-facing, and delivery-focused
Existing book welcome but not required
Why this is different
Step into an existing, active practice
Genuine leadership role from day one
Strong referral-driven workflow (not feast/famine)
Clear pathway to long-term senior leadership
Profit participation and equity pathway for the right candidate
A firm that values systems, quality and calm execution
If you’re ready to move from “senior fee earner” to
practice leader , this is a rare opening.
