Job Details

This opportunity is working with a dedicated property firm in Swinton, Manchester.

The firm has excelled in residential conveyancing and have had the benefit of a small team working on Commercial Property.

They now have a requirement for a full time commercial property lawyer to join their happy firm.

As a high street firm, they deal with the usual range of small shop units and warehouses / industrial units but also attract bigger clients including restaurant chains, some large household names and a number of interesting development jobs.

Their aim is to grow the commercial property team and they require a really good solid person to help set a training plan for other team members and to comment critically on the opportunities in the market (we do not expect the successful applicant to bring in their own work).

The applicant must have experience in:
1) lease negotiation
2) buying and selling businesses
3) licences to alter/rent deposit deeds/schedules

What they really want is a driven individual who want's to progress and build a team - this is a major focus of the firm and they will look favourably at those who wish to progress.

Must haves:
1) a friendly approach
2) good technical skills
3) a head down and work attitude

Company

Most lawyers are what we call passive job seekers who check job boards regularly to make sure their pay is in line with the wider market. This creates good opportunities to attract great candidates by offering appealing remuneration packages.

Law is a diverse industry, and each specialist area has unique recruitment characteristics that require specific skills and circumstances. For example, it’s seldom possible to employ a senior partner with an established “following” and there’s also a lack of suitable candidates for licensed conveyancing roles. On the other hand, employment, family, general litigation, criminal and tax lawyers are easier to recruit. 

Helpfully, lawyers are typically very flexible professionals often happy to retrain for niche roles, especially if they offer high salaries. 

While the law itself is always evolving, the UK’s departure from the EU has acted like a natural catalyst and we’ve seen an increase in demand for lawyers.
