Commercial Property Partner - Essex

An established law firm is seeking a Commercial Property Partner to lead the continued growth of its practice. With a strong regional reputation, an established client base and significant opportunities for cross-referrals, this is an exciting opportunity to shape the department's future and establish a stronger presence in the commercial property market.

You will take a leading role in developing new business, strengthening existing client relationships and building a network of contacts across the property sector, including developers, investors, landlords, lenders and professional advisers. You will also have the opportunity to recruit, mentor and develop a growing team, with the autonomy and support to influence the department's strategy and long-term success.

Your caseload will cover a broad range of commercial property matters, including acquisitions and disposals, commercial leases, development projects, land acquisitions, property finance and investment transactions. Working closely with colleagues across the firm's other practice areas, you will also benefit from valuable internal referral opportunities and the potential to generate further business.

The opportunity would suit an established Partner, Legal Director or experienced Senior Associate looking to take the next step in their career. You will bring strong technical expertise, commercial awareness and a proactive approach to business development. While an existing client following would be advantageous, it is not essential; the firm is particularly interested in someone with the ambition and leadership skills to build lasting relationships and drive growth.

In return, you will receive an attractive remuneration package, with potential equity participation for the right candidate, alongside dedicated marketing and business development support, modern infrastructure and a collaborative leadership team.
