Build Something Bigger. Shape the Future of a Growing Legal Business.

Are you an ambitious Commercial Property Solicitor looking for more than the traditional route to partnership?

What if your next move gave you the opportunity not only to lead and grow a commercial property practice, but also to play a meaningful role in the future success, profitability and ownership of an ambitious Scottish legal business?

At MOV8 Real Estate, we're looking for an exceptional Senior Legal Director - Commercial Conveyancing to help us establish, develop and lead the next stage of our commercial property offering.

Having achieved approximately 25% year-on-year growth over the past two years, we're investing in the people, technology and infrastructure needed to support our next phase of expansion.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to build a practice, develop client relationships and share in the rewards of creating something successful.

Why MOV8?

We believe the traditional legal partnership model isn't the only way for talented solicitors to build successful and rewarding careers.

At MOV8, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Competitive salary of up to £110,000, depending on experience.

• Take a leading role in shaping a growing commercial property practice.

• Influence the strategic direction of an ambitious, forward-thinking business.

• Work alongside an experienced leadership team committed to innovation and exceptional client service.

• Benefit from an established brand, operational infrastructure and opportunities for cross-referrals.

• Develop a clear pathway towards greater responsibility, financial reward and potential future ownership.

For the right individual, we're open to discussing a longer-term incentive structure linked to the growth and profitability of the business, potentially including equity participation.

The Opportunity

You'll have the opportunity to shape and grow our commercial conveyancing offering, supported by an established property business with a strong brand, existing infrastructure and ambitious growth plans.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and developing MOV8's commercial property and conveyancing offering.

• Managing complex commercial property transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, commercial leases and property investment matters.

• Developing and maintaining strong relationships with commercial clients, investors, developers and professional introducers.

• Identifying opportunities to generate new business and expand our commercial client base.

• Building, mentoring and developing a high-performing commercial property team as the practice grows.

• Working closely with our senior leadership team to shape business strategy, operational processes and future investment.

• Ensuring consistently exceptional standards of legal advice, client care and regulatory compliance.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with experienced Commercial Property Solicitors operating at Senior Associate, Legal Director or Partner level who have the ambition and commercial awareness to lead a growing practice.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Significant experience in Scottish commercial property law and conveyancing.

• A strong track record of managing complex transactions and maintaining valuable client relationships.

• A commercially minded approach, with the ability to identify and convert new business opportunities.

• Excellent leadership, communication and relationship-management skills.

• A genuine interest in developing people, improving processes and embracing technology.

• The confidence and ambition to help build a practice rather than simply inherit an existing caseload.

An established client following or strong network of commercial contacts would be particularly attractive, although we're equally interested in individuals with the ability and ambition to develop one.

Let's Have a Conversation

We appreciate that the people we're looking for are likely to be successful and settled in their current roles.

However, if you've ever considered what you could achieve with the right platform, investment and freedom to build something of your own, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
