Commercial Property Solicitor - G2 Legal Limited : Job Details

Commercial Property Solicitor – Manchester

I'm currently working with one of the North West’s leading commercial property teams to help them find an ambitious and personable Associate or Senior Associate (4 PQE+) to join their growing Commercial Real Estate department in Manchester.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who’s confident running transactions, enjoys building strong client relationships and wants to be part of a team that is genuinely on the up.

The partners have clear ambitions to grow a standout Commercial Property team within the wider department and are looking for someone who shares their vision. You’ll be given real responsibility, the freedom to shape your own development and plenty of support both with your day-to-day work and with business development.

• Around 5+ years’ PQE in mainstream Commercial Real Estate
• Someone who’s confident managing transactions and enjoys client contact
• A commercially minded lawyer who is proactive about business development
• A team player with strong communication skills and a genuine interest in building long-term client relationships

The team in brief:The Commercial Real Estate team is ranked Tier 2 in The Legal 500 (2024) and forms part of a wider real estate group with over 130 fee earners in Manchester alone. The work is varied, the clients are loyal and the culture is very people focused. They pride themselves on being lawyers with personality and it shows.

Some of the benefits include:
