Commercial Property Lawyer

Are you a confident commercial property lawyer ready for your next step? This is a standout opportunity to join a well‑established South West law firm with an excellent reputation across real estate, agriculture and the wider commercial market. With genuine scope to grow, shape your role and work within a collaborative, people‑centred environment, this is a brilliant move for someone wanting impact and autonomy.

Devon (Honiton, Axminster, Seaton or Sidmouth) - Hybrid Working

Up to £75,000 (DOE) + bonus

You will join a respected Commercial Property team working on a varied and interesting caseload including:

• Acquisitions & disposals
• Commercial leases
• Development work
• Landlord & tenant matters
• Opportunities to work with rural and agricultural property matters (advantageous but not essential)
• Working with business owners, developers, agents, lenders and long‑standing regional clients – offering high‑quality advice while maintaining excellent client relationships.

There is genuine opportunity for progression, with the option to take on management‑level responsibilities and to mentor junior colleagues if this aligns with your career goals. Equally, if you prefer to focus purely on delivering strong fee‑earning work, the team fully supports that too. This is a role that adapts around you.

• 5+ PQE or at least 5 years of managing a full commercial property caseload
• Strong experience across core commercial property work
• Agricultural/rural expertise would be a real advantage
• A proactive, client‑focused approach
• Someone who thrives in a regional, community‑based environment
• Ambition to develop, progress and shape your role – or simply enjoy being a high‑quality, dedicated fee earner without extra responsibilities

A supportive culture, a collaborative team and a brilliant benefits package:

• Up to 30 days’ holiday + birthday day off + December shutdown
• Auto‑enrol pension
• WPA NHS Top‑up Scheme
• Private Healthcare
• Death in Service: 2× salary
• Perkbox
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Annual flu vaccine
• Summertime early finishes (4pm Fridays in July)

You’ll be joining a well‑regarded regional firm with real heritage, a strong commercial presence and a loyal client base across a range of sectors. The work is varied, meaningful and steady, with plenty of support, modern systems and a genuinely warm team culture.

Whether you’re looking for progression and leadership or simply a place to thrive as a strong, autonomous fee earner, this firm offers both paths – without pressure.
