Commercial Property Solicitor

Exciting Opportunity: Commercial Property Solicitor / Chartered Legal Executive

I'm currently recruiting for a fantastic opportunity with a well-established law firm in Chester.

They're looking for a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with over five years of post-qualification experience to join their highly regarded Commercial Property team.

This is a full-time role based in their beautiful Chester office, with hybrid working options available.

The Role

This position offers the chance to work on a high-quality, complex, and varied caseload, including:

1. Easements and wayleaves
2. Sale and purchase of commercial buildings
3. Leases
4. Option agreements and leases
5. Sales of land with development potential, including overage provisions

Experience in agricultural property or property development work would be beneficial, but it is not essential.

You'll be working with a diverse client base, including landowners, developers, and funders - many of whom have been long-standing clients of the firm.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

1. At least five years of experience in commercial property law
2. A strong technical understanding of the field and a passion for career development
3. Excellent client-facing skills with the confidence to build and maintain relationships

They offer:

1. A competitive salary based on experience
2. 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays, increasing with service
3. A healthcare plan & flexible working options after probation
