Are you a newly qualified solicitor with experience in commercial property conveyancing?
We are looking for a Commercial Property lawyer to join a 6 lawyer-strong team in a full-service high-street solicitor firm with an excellent reputation in the East Midlands in handling the wide range of work that comes into a successful Commercial Property Department.

Candidates must show an appreciation of the commercial aspects of commercial property transactions and be willing to take part in marketing initiatives for their own services and those of the commercial property department. Prior commercial property law experience would be an advantage but is not essential, as training will be provided.
The vacancy is for a full-time position and would be ideally suitable for a newly qualified solicitor up to 2 years PQE.
