We’re an award-winning, Legal 500 ranked team known for our commitment to growth, fostering strong relationships, and our ambitious approach to providing full-service legal guidance for businesses, families, and individuals. We value collaboration and strive for excellence in everything we do.

We have been named as a Times Best Law Firm in both 2023 and 2024. Having experienced a period of explosive growth over the past decade, there has never been a more exciting time to join us.

This position is based in our state-of-the-art offices in Farnborough.

The Opportunity:

Join our leading Real Estate team with a particular focus on Landlord & Tenant matters.

We are seeking an experienced Real Estate Solicitor (5+ years PQE) to join our thriving practice. You will work across a wide range of landlord and tenant matters for clients spanning various sectors and values, as well as supporting with general commercial property transactions.

You’ll manage a varied caseload and advise on:

• Lease renewals and lease management
• Acquisitions and disposals
• Rent reviews, re-gears and relocations
• Property refinancing
• Strategic lease structuring and negotiations
• Business acquisitions, disposals and reorganisations (in conjunction with our Corporate team)

You’ll work closely with our Real Estate Partners and be supported by a dynamic team of Legal Directors, Solicitors, Trainees, and Paralegals. This is a great opportunity for someone who is commercially minded, enjoys a high level of autonomy, and thrives on client-facing work.

An existing following or client base would be looked on favourably but is not essential.

This role offers strong prospects for progression for the right individual, with the chance to contribute to the growth and development of the practice while advancing your own career.

The Perks:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Generous Fee Earner bonus
• Free car parking for your convenience
• Comprehensive benefits package including a pension, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, 25 days holiday plus an additional day for Christmas closure and Perkbox benefits
