- Advising on real estate finance matters, including certificates of title, charges, searches, officer's certificates and legal opinions
- Managing matters from start to finish and providing commercially focused, practical advice
- Building strong, long-term relationships with clients
- Working collaboratively with lawyers and colleagues across the wider business
- Supporting process improvement and new technology-led ways of working
- Mentoring and supporting more junior members of the team
You'll ideally be:
- A qualified solicitor in England & Wales with 4-10 years' PQE
- Experienced in commercial property, ideally with a strong asset management background or real estate finance
- Comfortable working across a large property portfolio or complex client account
- A confident drafter and negotiator
- Commercially minded, with strong client and stakeholder management skills
- Comfortable taking ownership of your work and working autonomously
- Interested in legal technology and alternative ways of delivering legal services
