Senior Commercial Property Solicitor

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Commercial Property Solicitor to lead and grow the Commercial Property offering within a dynamic and ambitious Birmingham city centre law firm.

Recently recognised in The Legal 500 UK 2026 as a “Firm to Watch”, this modern, forward-thinking practice is entering a significant phase of growth. Commercial Property is a key strategic priority, and the firm is seeking a driven and entrepreneurial leader to shape, build and scale the department.

This is more than a fee-earning role, it is a genuine leadership opportunity.

• Lead and develop the Commercial Property function
• Drive business development and strategic growth initiatives
• Build and mentor a team as the department expands
• Work closely with other successful arms of the business to cross-refer and maximise opportunities
• Play a key role in the firm’s wider growth strategy

The firm already services a strong, nationwide client base across manufacturing, retail, hospitality, care homes, logistics, warehousing and distribution. There is significant untapped opportunity to expand commercial property instructions from existing relationships, alongside developing new work streams.

• Acquisitions and disposals
• Landlord and tenant matters
• Commercial leases and portfolio management
• Development work
• Property finance and secured lending
• Option agreements and conditional contracts
• Asset management work for owner-managed businesses

With beautiful modern offices in the heart of Birmingham city centre and a hybrid working culture, this is a progressive and supportive environment.

As an ambitious and scaling practice, there are clear and realistic progression opportunities. In addition to a competitive salary, the firm offers the opportunity to participate in growth shares, providing a genuine stake in the firm’s long‑term success.

This role would suit a senior Commercial Property Solicitor or existing Head of Department who:

• Has strong technical expertise across commercial property
• Brings a commercial and entrepreneurial mindset
• Is motivated by the opportunity to build and lead
• Enjoys business development and relationship building
• Wants to play a visible and influential role within a growing firm

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a key growth area within a recognised and ambitious firm, with the autonomy and backing to make it a real success.
