Head of Commercial Property

Head of Commercial Property

Major Growth Potential | £100k+ Starting Salary + Bonus + Hybrid Working

All levels of experience welcome to reach out! Over 5+ years required.

Take the lead of a key department at one of the region’s most dynamic, award-winning law firms.

A rare leadership opportunity has opened at a progressive, multi-office law firm with a strong presence across Wales, known for its entrepreneurial spirit, long-term vision, and collaborative culture.

As Head of Commercial Property, you’ll take the reins of a respected and growing department, with the autonomy and support to shape its future. This is a standout opportunity for an ambitious commercial property lawyer ready to lead from the front and make a lasting impact.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Strategic Leadership Role – Join the senior leadership team and influence firmwide direction
• Complex, High-Value Work – Lead on a range of commercial property matters including acquisitions, developments, leases, investments, and landlord & tenant matters
• Uncapped Growth Potential – Build and scale a thriving practice with full support from forward-thinking leadership
• Excellent Remuneration – Starting salary from £100,000+, with a performance bonus, private office, parking, and more
• Flexible Working & Autonomy – Hybrid setup with robust BD, IT, and operational support to let you focus on what you do best

The Opportunity

You’ll lead and grow the firm’s Commercial Property department, overseeing a mix of development, investment, and landlord/tenant work for a broad client base including developers, SMEs, local authorities, and national businesses.

You’ll manage your own high-value caseload, mentor junior lawyers, contribute to firmwide growth strategies, and play a central role in business development and client relationship management.

What We’re Looking For:

• IDEALLY, Qualified Solicitor or CILEX with 8+ years’ PQE in commercial property (however, all levels should reach out)
• A confident, strategic leader with deep knowledge of the property market and strong commercial instincts
• Proven experience managing complex transactions and leading teams
• Strong client-handling, business development, and leadership skills
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset and readiness to be part of a high-performing senior team
