Commercial Property Solicitor – Leicester – Variety of Work, Hybrid Working
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Property Solicitor to join the Leicester office of an established national law firm.
This is a particularly attractive opportunity for a Commercial Property Solicitor who wants the best of both worlds – the accessibility and close-knit feel of a regional office, combined with the resources, client base and wider expertise of a national firm.
The position offers hybrid working alongside a genuinely broad Commercial Property caseload.
The role
You will manage a varied caseload covering a wide range of Commercial Property matters, including:
Acquisitions and disposals of commercial property
Commercial landlord and tenant matters
New leases and lease renewals
Licences to assign, sublet and alter
Lease surrenders
Secured lending, mortgages and refinancing
Business asset sales
Auction property transactions
Pension scheme property transactions, including in specie transactions
Land Registry applications and first registrations
Adverse possession matters
Section 25 notices
Acting for management companies
The breadth of the caseload is a major attraction of the position.
Rather than becoming restricted to one particular type of Commercial Property work, you will have the opportunity to deal with transactions across the wider discipline and continue developing into a genuinely well-rounded Commercial Property lawyer.
You will have responsibility for your own matters, direct contact with clients and the opportunity to develop both your technical expertise and wider commercial understanding.
The firm
HCB is an established national law firm with a network of offices across England and Wales, including a strong presence throughout the Midlands.
The Leicester office provides the opportunity to work as part of a local team while benefiting from the wider infrastructure and expertise of a much larger national practice.
Commercial Property forms part of a broad commercial offering across the firm, alongside areas including Litigation, Employment, Insolvency and Corporate and Commercial work.
That wider offering is particularly useful for a Commercial Property Solicitor, giving you access to expertise elsewhere within the firm where transactions cross over into other areas of commercial law.
HCB has grown significantly over the years while retaining a strong network of local offices, providing its lawyers with the opportunity to build genuine relationships with clients rather than operating within an anonymous centralised structure.
The ideal candidate
You will be a qualified Solicitor with a good grounding in general Commercial Property work.
You should have:
Experience across a broad range of Commercial Property matters
Strong technical knowledge
Experience of acquisitions, disposals and landlord and tenant work
Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills
The ability to manage your own caseload
Strong client care and communication skills
A practical and commercially minded approach
An interest in continuing to broaden your Commercial Property experience
This would particularly suit somebody who enjoys variety and wants to continue practising across the wider Commercial Property discipline rather than specialising too narrowly at this stage of their career.
